Il n'y a pas si longtemps, Européens et Américains s'enorgueillissaient de leur attitude éclairée, faite de tolérance et de compréhension, à l'égard des religions. Aujourd'hui, il semble que les choses aient changé, singulièrement à propos de l'Islam. De nombreux pays d'Europe ont éprouvé le besoin de légiférer le port du foulard islamique. En France, depuis 2004, les filles n'ont pas le droit de porter le foulard à l'école. Au Kosovo, où la population musulmane est importante, la même interdiction prévaut. Dans certaines régions d'Allemagne, de Hollande, d'Espagne et de Belgique, les enseignantes dans l'exercice de leur fonction ne sont pas autorisées à porter le voile, alors que les religieuses et les prêtres ont permission d'enseigner en habit. Cinq arguments sont au coeur de tous les débats sur l'interdiction de la burqa. Tous reposent sur des contradictions qui favorisent, tacitement, les pratiques majoritaires et sont discriminantes à l'égard des minorités. Au terme d'une analyse exemplaire de clarté et de rigueur, ce livre nous invite à dépasser la peur des religions et à interroger nos propres préjugés - même lorsqu'ils empruntent les habits flatteurs de l'exception française.

What impulse prompted some newspapers to attribute the murder of 77 Norwegians to Islamic extremists, until it became evident that a right-wing Norwegian terrorist was the perpetrator? Why did Switzerland, a country of four minarets, vote to ban those structures? How did a proposed Muslim cultural center in lower Manhattan ignite a fevered political debate across the United States? In The New Religious Intolerance, Martha C. Nussbaum surveys such developments and identifies the fear behind these reactions. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, history, and literature, she suggests a route past this limiting response and toward a more equitable, imaginative, and free society.Fear, Nussbaum writes, is "more narcissistic than other emotions." Legitimate anxieties become distorted and displaced, driving laws and policies biased against those different from us. Overcoming intolerance requires consistent application of universal principles of respect for conscience. Just as important, it requires greater understanding. Nussbaum challenges us to embrace freedom of religious observance for all, extending to others what we demand for ourselves. She encourages us to expand our capacity for empathetic imagination by cultivating our curiosity, seeking friendship across religious lines, and establishing a consistent ethic of decency and civility. With this greater understanding and respect, Nussbaum argues, we can rise above the politics of fear and toward a more open and inclusive future.
