Description
Over the course of a three-year interview, the King of Morocco answered Eric Laurent’s questions with the authority and erudition granted to him by his title of Commander of Believers and descendant of the Prophet. Giving his opinion on the nature of Islam, how it slipped into fundamentalism, and the threat it seems to represent for Western countries, Hassan II managed to outline with clarity and level-headedness the importance of a religion which counts more than one billion followers. For 38 years, Hassan II reigned over Morocco. A political leader and absolute monarch, he was one of the first to advocate a dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians, as well as between Muslims and Christians.
