Olivier Roy spent from 11 September 2001 to 11 January 2015 scrutinizing the political and sociological drivers of “globalized Islam”. In blogs and in hard-hitting interviews he gave to Le Monde, the political scientist prophesied a new “fear of Islam” taking over Western societies. From the Arab Spring to the generational nihilism of youth dropping out of globalization, from the failure of political Islam to France’s commitment against ISIS, Olivier Roy provides keys to understanding the Islam issue. And offers grounds for hope that France can spread its ideals throughout the plurality that is our world.”
