Opening speech of the fourth congress in Abu Dhabi, Michel Younès

At the opening of the fourth congress of the University Platform for Research on Islam Pluriel, which celebrates its tenth anniversary, Michel Younès expressed his pride in the advances made in terms of exchanges and dissemination of modern thought on Islam. Bringing together 180 researchers from more than 25 countries, the platform aims to make Arabic an official language of dissemination, notably through the publication of the proceedings of the Beirut congress in three languages. Referring to the Document on Human Fraternity signed in 2019 by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Michel Younès questioned the means of achieving this fraternity in a world marked by extremism in the name of religion.

À l’ouverture du quatrième congrès de la Plateforme universitaire de recherche sur l’islam Pluriel, qui célèbre son dixième anniversaire, Michel Younès a exprimé sa fierté pour les avancées en matière d’échanges et de diffusion de la pensée moderne sur l’islam. Rassemblant 180 chercheurs issus de plus de 25 pays, la plateforme souhaite faire de l’arabe une langue de diffusion officielle, notamment à travers la publication des actes du congrès de Beyrouth en trois langues. Évoquant le Document sur la fraternité humaine signé en 2019 par le pape François et le grand imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Michel Younès a interrogé les moyens de réaliser cette fraternité dans un monde marqué par l’extrémisme au nom de la religion.

فخره بالتقدم المحرز في مجال التبادل ونشر الفكر الحديث عن الإسلام. وقد جمع المؤتمر 180 باحثًا من أكثر من 25 دولة، وتأمل المنصة في جعل اللغة العربية لغة نشر رسمية، وخاصة من خلال نشر أعمال مؤتمر بيروت بثلاث لغات. وبالحديث عن وثيقة الأخوة الإنسانية التي وقعها البابا فرنسيس والإمام الأكبر أحمد الطيب في عام 2019، طرح ميشيل يونس السؤال عن السبل لتحقيق هذه الأخوة في عالم يتسم بالتطرف باسم الدين
