A Shared Past For A Shared Future: European Muslims And History-Making

A Shared Past For A Shared Future: European Muslims And History-Making

Martin Rose
0/5 ( ratings)
In honor of the life and work of Sheikh Zaki Badawi, OBE, KBE, and
in recognition of his noted public contribution in championing the
vital role of religious faith and values in the life of the nation, the AMSS
has established the annual Zaki Badawi Memorial Lecture. The lecture
series is dedicated to Dr. Badawi’s vision to foster pluralism, inter-faith
dialogue, inter-cultural understanding, and social cohesion.
‘He who controls the past controls the present.’ In this third Zaki
Badawi Memorial Lecture, Martin Rose argues that history is as often
a polemical weapon as a dispassionate exploration of the past. It can, at
worst, support entrenched positions and inhibit understanding – but it
also offers solutions to difficult questions of identity and belonging in
today’s Europe. Seeing both Muslim and traditional European accounts
of their own history as teleological and springing from their respective
cultures, he argues for a thoughtful and open-minded approach to the
writing of an intercultural history that explores much more fully the
role of the Muslim East as a contributor to the ‘modern’ European mind;
and at the same time acknowledges the shared, inescapable and potentially
creative legacy of common imperial histories for today’s Europe.
