بلاد المغرب الاسلامي بين التعايش والصراع المذهبي: قراءة في الاستغلال السياسي والتأثير العقدي والفقهي

Abstract

Mostly, the cohabitation and the conflicts between the Islamic doctrines in Maghreb
are briefly discussed. It touches only some precise aspects in which the impact has been
amplified according to the contexts cited by several sources. It neglects the need of a
synthetic reading that considers the different interferences making doctrine’s politics in
Islamic medieval Maghreb, such us: governments manipulations, competitive relations
between jurisprudents (foqaha), or the effect of a general authority that generally
followed jurisprudence theorization and political direction by: teaching, propaganda
forms, convincing, mobilization and doctrine fanaticism. Sometimes, tribal conflicts, social disagreement and contention for power are being presented as a pure doctrinal conflict.
There is also the nature of the religious thinking about reality and salvation. All this
aspects can give a true explanation of doctrinal conflict and violence that leads either to
war and murder, or to tolerance that makes people forgive their doctrinal background for
many times of cohabitation and peace. This paper tries to give a synthetic vision based on
the keys proposed by the French philosopher Michel Foucault, for an approach to the
definition of authority and for an explanation of the interference between knowledge and
authority.
