Un articolo molto lungo ma molto interessante sulla modernità e il mondo musulmano, Christopher de Bellaigue dal Guardian.

To anyone outside the west, it is self-evident that there is more than one way to be modern – a truth easily observed in any developing country. Modernity is at the best of times a tension, a dislocation and an agitation, producing – in a phrase from Nietzsche that expresses a kaleidoscopic weirdness of perspective – “a fateful simultaneity of spring and autumn.”
