author provides us with an analysis of the conflictive relations existing<br />
between Islam and the West, the historical-religious evolution<br />
of Islam, the situation of the Near East in the 20 t h century, the origins<br />
and evolution of Islamism, the different political attitudes of<br />
the Islamic movements, the social situation in Muslim countries,<br />
the situation of women in Islamic society, the most recent military<br />
conflicts and in short, the current socio-political situation of Islam<br />
and Islamic countries and on the international front. w L U I S S O L S<br />
• Opinions regarding relations between Islam and the<br />
West<br />
The experts in matters of international politics Mikel Aramendi, Gabirel<br />

Torquemada provide us with their view of the conflictive relations<br />
existing between the Islamic world and the West. Thus, they emphasize<br />
multiple controversial matters, each one from his own particular<br />
perspective: the concept of «war of civilizations», the Western<br />
interpr<strong>eta</strong>tion of Islamism, the identification of Islam with fundamentalism,<br />
the religious magnitude of Islamic societies, the incompatibility<br />
of Islam with democracy and modernity and the bases for<br />
dialogue between Islam and the West. w Various Authors<br />
