1/ Breve nota introduttiva di Giovanni Amico

La voce di WikiIslam “List of Killings Ordered or Supported by Muhammad” presenta i diversi e numerosi  casi di omicidio attribuiti a Maometto in forma diretta o indiretta dalle stesse fonti musulmane delle origini: esse sono ricche di particolari in merito.

Si noti che la pagina fa riferimento, come sempre avviene nella tradizione musulmana, non solo al Corano, ma anche ai detti orali di Maometto - gli hadits – riportati, ad esempio, in Sahih Bukhari.

La pagina riporta alle origine dell’Islam ed ai casi acclarati di utilizzo di violenza che le caratterizzarono. Ma, grazie a Dio, è possibile nel tempo un percorso di comprensione che può portare a rifiutare ciò che è avvenuto nel passato.

Ora la domanda alla quale sono chiamati a rispondere i musulmani di oggi, proprio perché liberi e portatori di dignità inalienabile – domanda alla quale non possono rispondere i  cristiani o gli atei che rispondono del loro passato – è esattamente la seguente: questo passato che è esistito non ha più valore oggi? Se ne può chiedere perdono, oppure il ritorno alle origini è inevitabile e destinato a riemergere perché le origini dell’Islam sono indiscutibili?

Quale procedimento interpretativo dell’Islam deve essere messo in atto per affermare che ciò che avvenne nel passato, ciò che Maometto stesso compì, non vale più per il tempo presente? Oppure non è possibile un tale processo e l’islam è intrinsecamente violento? O invece è possibile e si tratta allora di mettere in discussione la storia passata per giungere per qualche via alla conclusione che un ritorno alle origini è sbagliato e contrario alla volontà di Allah?

Una mancata risposta a questa questione lascerebbe campo aperto a correnti come quelle oggi in azione nell’Is (Islamic State) in Siria ed Iraq che si fanno forza del richiamo ad un ritorno alla purezza delle origini, contro un Islam che vedono corrotto rispetto alle intuizioni primitive.
