Articles on Islam, the Qur'an and other Islamic sacred texts, and Muslim faith, theology, customs and traditions.
Cet article examine la réponse catholique à la croissance de l'Islam dans le monde occidental à la lumière de la vision de l'Église concernant le dialogue interreligieux et l'évangélisation.
