“We need a communications strategy emphasising above all the image of a moderate Islam”, as the new President of the French Muslims, Mohammed Moussaoui, told Resetdoc. Moussaoui presents himself as an enlightened and polyglot Muslim, but he too appears to represent an Islam “imposed from above”. Relations between Islam and Europe continue to be marked by misunderstandings, timid steps forward and ambiguity. As proved by the French example, representative bodies are all too often “managed” by the State, and their internal level of democracy leaves a great deal to be desired. What is happening as far as the integration of European Muslims is concerned? Who represents them?
