  5. Les collègues Charles Mercier ( @univbordeaux ) et Philippe Portier (EPHE) reviennent sur les lectures parfois rapides d'enquêtes d'opinion portant sur les affiliations et sentiments religieux des jeunes musulmans en France.
    Et rappellent, au passage, que l'expérience vécue n'est pas si éloignée que celles de leurs compatriotes d'autres religions.

    « C’est dans cette perspective d’individuation que nous semblent se situer les jeunes musulmans français, qui ne sont pas si éloignés qu’on le dit de leurs compatriotes. A l’approche de la célébration des 120 ans de la loi de séparation des Eglises et de l’Etat, on ne peut que souhaiter que la question complexe des rapports entre religion, politique et société fasse l’objet d’approches fondées sur l’étude rationnelle des faits ».
