JEAN-PIERRE CHAMOUX 
Le monde islamique et les démocraties occiden-
tales sont-ils deux univers radicalement séparés
et inconciliables ? Les préceptes coraniques consti-
tuent-ils des obstacles insurmontables à l’adop-
tion du contrat social et des idéaux universalistes
qui fondent les sociétés de l’ « Ouest » ? C’est la
thèse défendue par ce livre fougueux, éloquent
et documenté, mais qui n’évite pas les généralisa-
tions hâtives et les amalgames contestables.
The West & the Rest
par Roger Scruton

Tout ce qui
a conduit
l’occidental
à construire
des principes
juridiques
et sociaux
d’une portée
universelle
provoquerait,
selon l’auteur,
l’irritation des
exégètes du
Coran.
Pour Scruton, la
construction
démocratique,
fondée sur des
institutions
laïques,
l’autonomie du
droit, la loyauté
du citoyen à
l’égard de son
sol et de ses
semblables,
implique la
société tout
entière, dont
elle assure la
cohésion.

que sur les
populations
islamisées.
