12 April 2007 - Seminar on Islam at the University of Genoa


The University of Genoa organized a well-attended seminar on Islam in the Balkans. Against the background of the modern history of Islam in the region, Christophe Solioz reviewed the evolution of Islam in Bosnia since 1878, focusing on its politicization, as well as on the internal trends towards homogenization and diversification. The increased visibility of Islam in Bosnia and, above all, the recovery of the intellectual and cultural legacy specific to Bosnia's Muslims demands a new approach that takes into account the fact that European Islam exists and has much to contribute to the integration of Islam in Europe.
