Abstract

The ‘Islam and secularism’ debate began a century ago and does not seem to have progressed. Prevailing attitudes, both ‘pro’ and ‘con’, are apparently locked in a stalemate and an endless ‘war of positions’. Why are the actors of different trends restating more or less the same formulations on this issue? Is it possible to find a likely interpretation for such a phenomenon?
