Islam and society in contemporary Spain (Granada)
Because the presence of Muslim communities in Spain is relatively recent, and because there is not a long tradition of theological study of Islam, we want to start our dialogue with the Islamic tradition by understanding the characteristics of Islam of Spain and the way it interacts with the rest of the Spanish society.
Our objective is to identify concrete points of conflicts regarding the understanding of social life that exists in the relationship between Islam and society in Spain. In a second moment, we would like to begin a common reflection and a dialogue with Islamic tradition on these points.
Method of approach
In order to study the presence of the Islamic tradition in contemporary Spain, we plan first to implement a multidisciplinary approach that includes sociological, legal and historical study. Secondly, we want to critically read the information obtained from this analysis in the light of the Islamic tradition, social life and Catholic social thought.
