Dr. Samir Boudinar: The Muslim Council of Elders Places Great Emphasis on the Issue of Managing Identarian Peace in the Muslim World and the Challenges and Problems That May Arise from Identity Differences Within Muslim Communities

Dr. Fouad Bouali Commends the Efforts of the Muslim Council of Elders in Shedding Light on the Issue of "Identarian Peace in the Muslim World" and Revisiting the Fundamental Principles of Societal and Local Peace

The Muslim Council of Elders hosted a seminar at the International Publishing and Book Fair in Rabat titled: "Identarian Peace Management in the Muslim World: Concepts, Underpinnings, and Mechanisms." The seminar was presented by Dr. Samir Boudinar, Director of the Al Hokama Center for Peace Research, and Dr. Fouad Bouali, Director of the "Identity Harmony Management in the Muslim World" project.

During the seminar, Dr. Samir Boudinar emphasized that the Muslim Council of Elders places significant importance on the issue of "Identarian Peace Management in the Muslim World," having issued a dedicated book addressing this matter. This book is among the latest releases for the year 2024, showcased at the International Publishing and Book Fair in Rabat. He underscored the significance of identity, which represents an urgent need in the contemporary Islamic world and is not merely a problematic concept but is intertwined with complex notions and social patterns, necessitating clear visions and effective strategies to address the challenges and problems that may arise from identity differences within Muslim communities.

Dr. Fouad Bouali added that effectively managing identity can make it a factor in development and social harmony. He commended the efforts of the Muslim Council of Elders in shedding light on the issue of "Identarian Peace Management in the Muslim World" and revisiting the fundamental principles of societal and local peace. This is achieved through the publication of a book that serves as a theoretical introduction to the "Identity Harmony Management in the Muslim World" project. The first section of the book discusses the concept of identity and identarian peace, while the second section delves into the Muslim world, attempting to theoretically define and adjust concepts to embark on research work.

The Muslim Council of Elders is participating at the International Publishing and Book Fair in Rabat, with over 220 editions in 5 different languages, including 22 new releases that address the most important intellectual and cultural issues. Additionally, the council is organizing a number of discussion and seminars with the participation of scholars, thinkers, writers, intellectuals, academics, and university professors. This stems from the council's vision and its mission aimed at promoting peace and fostering the values of dialogue, tolerance, and coexistence. The council's pavilion is located at booth C18 at the OLM Souissi site in Rabat.
