Tareq Oubrou's geotheology shari'ah of the minority and the secularization of Islamic theology in the European context / [Ressource électronique] : Mohammed Hashas - p. 365-385
Notes bibliogr.
This article introduces the work of the French imam-theologian Tareq Oubrou as a prominent voice of the emerging "European Islamic thought". It argues that the imam uses Islamic classical jurisprudential devices (such as fatwas), contemporary hermeneutics and critical thought, and personal communion with the divine (spirituality) to renew the understanding of God, Man, and the Qura'n in the European context. In so doing, he (1) "relativizes" shari'ah law by emphasizing the questions of ethics and meaning, (2) "minoritizes" Islam as a religion in a pluralist liberal milieu, and (3) "localizes" its norms, "nationalizes" religious authority, and "institutionalizes" its manifestations. His work is synthesized in this article in three concepts: (1) "geotheology," (2) "shari'ah of the minority" which are Oubrou's own terms/concepts, and (3) "European Islam"
