Occidente e islam nelle relazioni internazionali. Dalla storia all'attualità

Abstract

This historical survey maintains that European countries have no faults to be forgiven by Is-lam. Muhammad was the only founder of a religion being also a military leader and Islam was a perma-nent threat to Europe from the IX century to the XVII century. In contemporary age the religious factor was no longer relevant for Europe (no longer Christianity) in its relations with the Ottoman Empire. Nowadays a secularized Europe opening the doors to Islamic immigration is courting disaster.
