Abstract

This article asserts that the main polarity that structures the controversy around Islam and its followers in France is the one that opposes the proponents of the liberal motive—that is to say, of a strictly individualistic perspective that does not consider the historical links constituted within the society—to those of the conservative motive—which postulate the strong thesis of the existence of a coordinated conspiracy of the Muslims. The main point of contention is thus the qualification of the main point of contention is the characterization of collective experiences in modern society, denied by some and reified by others. The shift from the fight against radicalization to the anti-separatism apparatus can be understood as the passage from a liberal moment—discursively based on the repression of deviant individuals—to an ongoing conservative one where the Muslim community is explicitly incriminated as an inadequacy within the liberal and secular society.

摘要

本文断言，围绕伊斯兰教及其法国追随者展开争论的主要极性是反对自由主义动机的支持者，也就是说，反对严格的个人主义观点，不考虑伊斯兰教内部构成的历史联系。社会——对于那些具有保守动机的人来说——假设了穆斯林之间存在协调一致的阴谋这一强有力的论点。因此，争论的要点是对现代社会集体经验的表征的限定，这些经验被一些人否认，而另一些人具体化。
