a catchy title, friendly and media intellectual, malheuresment content a bit light not really up to par. If the book addresses many issues without taboos and aims to give Islam to modernity particularly in a French context, the book only lists a set of vows (pious one might say) without providing the intellectual conditions which actually allow their genesis in a company or Muslim community. One can only ask some questions about the effectiveness of this approach. Take, news obliges the veil, it is unclear how such veiling can be discharged in a few pages on behalf of some Koranic verses devoted to this prespcription then the Koran is not the only source of law Islam (the hadith, fiqh and tradition also have enormous importance), and the veil is recommended as a practice of faith in all Muslim schools of law. Two problems arise in book reading: - According to what virtue modernity can it be a face to a standard dogma of a book that revealed to be universal and timeless absolute reference? - On what grounds can he consistently differentiate the application of Islam by men, which would result many abuses and authentic Islam which would be him source of tolerance and progress? Never Chebel envisages only fundamentalist Islamism is not a deviation but a form of authentic practice of Islam respectful of a tradition autenthique. In a certain manner, Malek Chebel is only a reformist who offers concilante exegesis to adapt Islam to modernity. In short the book is both too ambitious and lightweight enough to give arguments challenging the conditions of application of certain practices and not ambitious enough to see the birth of an Islam Lumiéres. Symptomatic is the first sentence of the book, where he ingenue to justify his work because he loves Islam. It is clear that an intellectual "Muslim" today can not escape finalemnt this deposit, and that's the difference with this LIGHTS; the autonomy of reason that have pronated the Intellectuals do Lumiéres not only were denounced intolerance, prejudice, they have freed themselves of both the predefined frame of thought and all dogmas (including religious) to put radically involved. All things Chebel is far !!!! Fear not dear Islamists, Islam of lumiéres is not yet born. A title usurped in short ...
