Book Description

Un essai courageux au service d'un combat désormais inévitable contre l'intolérance, le fanatisme et l'oppression. Dans L'Islam contre la modernité , Ferghane Azihari, issu d'une famille musulmane comorienne, mais d'abord libre penseur, mène un combat intellectuel à la manière de Voltaire. A la lumière des textes fondateurs et de la géopolitique, il montre comment l'Islam a rejeté l'héritage des grandes civilisations antiques, colonisé les esprits et les peuples, et bâti un système de surveillance morale étouffant. Passant en revue les rendez-vous que l'Islam a manqués avec la modernité au cours de son histoire, il dénonce une " superstition " responsable du blocage des sociétés islamiques, rétives à toute réforme, et interroge la menace que fait peser aujourd'hui l'expansionnisme islamique sur l'Europe et ses libertés. Essayiste, Ferghane Azihari est chroniqueur au Figaro Magazine et sur France Info TV. Il a reçu le Prix Turgot du jeune talent pour son essai Les Ecologistes contre la modernité (2021, La Cité).

In L’Islam contre la modernité, essayist Ferghane Azihari examines the cultural, political, and historical obstacles that prevent certain Muslim-majority societies from embracing modern democratic and liberal values. He critiques the religious ideology for stifling intellectual progress and warns of its expansionist threats to European liberties.Azihari’s essay explores several core themes:The Myth of Islamic Civilization: Azihari challenges the narrative that Islam brought civilization to an "archaic" Middle East. He argues that the spread of the religion actually erased or suppressed highly developed pre-Islamic cultures, such as the Roman, Greek, and Greco-Buddhist societies in North Africa and the Middle East.Lack of Intellectual & Scientific Progress: He points to statistics, such as those from the Islamic Development Bank, to argue that the Muslim world’s contribution to modern science and original discoveries is disproportionately low compared to its massive demographic weight. He attributes this stagnation to an over-reliance on dogmatism and a general resistance to reform.Authoritarianism & Social Regressiveness: Drawing on geopolitical and textual analyses, Azihari highlights the disproportionate amount of authoritarian regimes in the Muslim world. He argues that theological strictures lead to systemic issues with personal liberty, high levels of misogyny, homophobia, and intolerance.Critique of Western Apologists: He heavily criticizes European left-wing or anti-colonial thinkers who romanticize Islamic societies. He argues that this complacency prevents an honest and objective debate about the compatibility of the religion's fundamental tenets with modern secularism and democratic principles.Through these points, Azihari builds a firm case for Voltairean free thought, urging a critical evaluation of how an oppressive moral and political framework limits individual emancipation within these societies.
