Religions, terrorism and war
Charentenay de, Pierre (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2017)
Terrorism has expanded worldwide. It became necessary to look for a new framework of analysis in order to understand this type of violence. The expression “third world war” has been used in different circumstances. But terrorism is not a war because the two enemies are not well identified and conflict is not precisely located. There is a conflict in Syria and Iraq, but it is not a world war. The term “third world war” is also dangerous because it gives the impression that you will be able to end terrorism by some kind of act of war. The expression “war on terrorism” has technically not any sense. But terrorism has an aspect where religions are concerned: this is the individual decision to enter into a process of radicalization. One of the most fruitful places of peace building for religions is the interreligious dialogue at local level, schools, municipalities, churches. Global dialogue has no impact on the field if there is no action and connection at the local level.
The divorce between nation and religion
Charentenay de, Pierre (Uniwersytet Opolski. Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego, 2015)
In recent history where there was a nation, there was a religion, according to the famous formula Cujus region ejus religio. But in the 1960s a double movement started, first concerning secularization which will lead people to what some authors have called an “exculturation”, when the personal practice is detached from the national culture. The second movement leads people to migration all over the world, with their own religions, Muslim people in Europe, or Evangelicals in Muslim countries. The culture of a country is not anymore Catholic or Protestant, but secular. Its identity has to find other roots than reli gion. This movement is developed differently according to the local culture. It has been very strong in Western Europe, and slower in some countries of Eastern Europe and the US. It can provoke fundamentalist reactions, in order to defend ones identity, but the divorce between nation and religion is on the way.
