The repercussions of the recent dramas in France

Now the emotion has calmed, radios, televisions, written press are beginning the analyses of why ? how? where lies the fault ? how to explain the radicalisation of young people drawn to Islam ; how to make opposite ideas and ideologies co-habit in a democratic society: is secularism the answer ? etc.

I read an interesting commentary published in The Telegraph, in which the author referred to Pope Benedict XVI 's masterful address to a German University in 2006. It helps us understand the different mentalities  between secular, Western Christians and believing Muslims.

Here they are for you to decide for yourselves if these articles help you in your reflections on the subject.
