Sažetak
Muslims bitterly reject statements of some politicians and writing of media in the West after "nine eleven" terror attacks in New York which imply that Islam somehow approves the killing of innocent persons. Part of this confusion comes from the fact that Muhammad established a new monotheistic religion and a state. From the proceedings of the Prophet and from the Qur'an (50:8) Muslim theologians in their predominant teaching express the conviction that Islam is religion and state. Jihad is primarily moral endeavor on God's way but also the just war (2:190-192; 4,89-910). In official statements following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks Muslim institutions in Muslim countries and in Bosnia-Herzegovina reject terrorism on innocent civilians in the naine of Islam, but they do not consider terrorism anned resistance to new colonizers and their domestic cooperators.
Muslim theologians of BH in their published works express their readiness to live in secular state. This author quotes reftections of A. Alibasic, S. Balic, M. Ceric, E. Karic and F. Karcic. They regret the "tribalism" of Muslim immigrants in European countries who organize themselves too slowly at the level of individua! countries and of the whole Europe. They encourage all Muslims of Europe to integrate into European countries and structures cherishing their Muslim identity at the same time. F. Karcic, commenting the Charter of European Muslims which was signed at Brussels on January 15, 2008 considers it a great help on the way to social integration without assimilation in Europe. This author believes that terrorist attacks should not be ignored, but neither they should be imputed to all Muslims. Christians and Muslims in the pluralistic Europe should demonstrate that their faith enables them for constructive living and acting in plural society, they should avoid stereotyped condemnations and build bridges of mutual trust.
