This is where people of religion and secularists differ in their view of the origin of this authority and this reference: The rise of a managing political entity which cares about the affairs of the people (by which we mean the state) is dependent on the moral and legislative authority, which represents the authority of the state in the practice of its management, and its control of social and political matters to enforce its dominance and presence.
It means having legitimate authority to lead. Though discussing the subjects of Power and State will directly lead to the political aspect, we must ascertain that relying on a political construct reflects a poor informative background, which is why we must delve into some key notions relative to this subject. When we speak of Power and State, this means that we speak of political matters, not of philosophy, nor of an epistemological view, but only of political thought. Power and legitimacy in the understanding of religion and secularism I am concerned in particular with the problems of Islam and secularism. This meeting will take the form of a dialogue, by which I mean that I will speak sufficiently so as to put down some debatable notions, which we may be able to discuss amongst ourselves under the title of “Power and State, The problems of religion and secularism”. I also think that it is very shallow for religious people, or Islamists for that matter, to think that we can lead our lives without a margin of secularism, in the sense pertaining to the notion of plurality.
As a matter of fact I believe it is extremely shallow that many secularists would think that man, the focus of their attention, can live without religion or without a religious spirit.
I would like to thank all of those who worked to achieve this meeting, and I apologize to those that have taken the trouble to attend if they thought they were coming to see a man of religion cursing secularism, as I will not be cursing secularism and secularists.
