In September 2012, the video “The Innocence of Muslims” sparked outrage and demonstrations in the Middle East by depicting an attack against Copts by a Muslim group, associated with the Prophet Muhammad portrayed as a ruthless killer and a pedophile. Although produced by Copts in the United States, the video paradoxically strengthened Christian-Muslim unity in the region.
Anna Hager studies the relations between Christians and Muslims in Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan through this controversy. Beyond the ritual condemnations, she sees in it revealing mechanisms of intercommunal relations. Muslims, even Islamists, and Christians channeled potential violence to consolidate their ties and their own positions.
The book sheds light on the diversity of experiences and attitudes of Christians towards Islam, as well as the plural ones of Muslims towards Christians, used as political tools after the Arab Springs.
En septembre 2012, la vidéo “L’Innocence des Musulmans” a suscité l’indignation et des manifestations au Moyen-Orient en dépeignant une attaque contre les Coptes par un groupe musulman, associée au prophète Mahomet présenté comme un tueur sans pitié et un pédophile. Bien que produite par des Coptes aux États-Unis, la vidéo a paradoxalement renforcé l’unité chrétiens-musulmans dans la région.
Anna Hager étudie les relations entre chrétiens et musulmans en Égypte, au Liban et en Jordanie à travers cette controverse. Au-delà des condamnations rituelles, elle y voit des mécanismes révélateurs des rapports intercommunautaires. Musulmans, même islamistes, et chrétiens ont canalisé la violence potentielle pour consolider leurs liens et leurs propres positions.
Le livre met en lumière la diversité des expériences et attitudes des chrétiens envers l’islam, ainsi que celles, plurielles, des musulmans envers les chrétiens, utilisés comme outils politiques après les Printemps arabes.
في سبتمبر 2012، أثار فيديو “براءة المسلمين” غضبًا ومظاهرات في الشرق الأوسط من خلال تصوير هجوم على الأقباط من قبل جماعة مسلمة، مرتبطة بالنبي محمد الذي تم تقديمه على أنه قاتل بلا رحمة ومنحرف جنسيًا. على الرغم من أنه تم إنتاجه من قبل الأقباط في الولايات المتحدة، فإن الفيديو عزز بشكل مفارق الوحدة بين المسيحيين والمسلمين في المنطقة.
تدرس آنا هاغر العلاقات بين المسيحيين والمسلمين في مصر ولبنان والأردن من خلال هذه الجدلية. وراء الإدانات الطقسية، ترى آليات تكشف عن العلاقات بين الطوائف. قام المسلمون، حتى الإسلاميين، والمسيحيون بتوجيه العنف المحتمل لتعزيز روابطهم ومواقفهم الخاصة.
يسلط الكتاب الضوء على تنوع تجارب ومواقف المسيحيين تجاه الإسلام، وكذلك تلك المتعددة للمسلمين تجاه المسيحيين، الذين تم استخدامهم كأدوات سياسية بعد الربيع العربي.
