Replication of the external enemy and hostile hospitality in Europe
pp. 153-183
Abstract
In this chapter I want to explicate what allows the circulation and marking of Islam and Muslim immigrants in the parlance of the European public sphere today as an internal enemy of Europe and therefore as a demographic, cultural, and civilizational threat to its integrity. The historical constitution of Islam as the archetypal external enemy certainly plays an important role in this marking.
