- Abstract
More than ever, globalized modernity offers gateways for paranoid versions of interpreting the world. Conspiracy fantasies among Muslims are, in part, due to European-Christian influences, but are also linked to Islamic (Koranic) traditions. It is rare for Muslims to attribute the reform deadlock in the Arab world to deficits in modernization or to a lack of secularization. Many Muslims feel at the mercy of an evil and conspiratorial op - eration of an overpowering opponent: the Jews - especially in the form of Israel. Standards of reason and objectivity barely have a chance in illiberal religious discourse contexts where the separation of state and religion is regarded as sacrilege. So far, few Muslim voices have dared to oppose those destructive tendencies that poison intercultural coexistence and not only in the Middle East. Certainly, an arrangement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be an enormous contribution to humanization; but as long as large parts of the Muslim world are dominated bv pre-Enlightenment thought-patterns and emotions charged with conspiracy fantasies, well-intentioned therapeutic countermeasures can do little.
