The latest issue of the semestrial magazine ‘Islam in 21st Century’ is released. The magazine is aimed at enlightening Muslims and motivate them to shift to modern Islam promoting tolerance and openness. Enlightenment started with prominent Muslim scientists like Ibn Rushd, Ibn Sina, and Al-Farabi, who saved Europe from dark times, enlightened its people and helped them achieve their renaissance.
The issue consists of several sections: the first is written by Eva Janadin, researcher specialized in early and modern Islamic thought. It discusses keynotes and ideas demonstrated during a relevant conference held recently at the UNESCO palace. The second section is entitled ‘Islam and Environment’ or ‘Islam and Animal Kingdom’, a theological field of discovery or rediscovery; it’s written by researcher Omero Marongiu-Perria, a sociologist specialized in Islam studies in France, and a theologist interested in interfaith dialogue, mainly between Islam and Christianity. Among his works are ‘It’s Time to Eliminate False Ideas about Islam, and Muslims,’ and ‘France’s Muslims…the Big Ordeal’.
