La frase, famosa, l’aveva pronunciata papa Giovanni Paolo II. Curiosamente, è anche il titolo dell’ultimo rapporto dell’IPPR, lo Institute for Public Policy Research, think tank progressista britannico.

Il rapporto – intitolato Building Bridges, Not WallsEngaging with political Islamists in the Middle East and North Africa e firmato da Alex Glennie – chiede alla politica occidentale di cambiare atteggiamento verso i partiti e i movimenti islamisti non violenti del mondo arabo.

This report argues that dialogue with non-violent political Islamist parties and movements should be an urgent priority for the Obama administration and its allies, including the UK, as key to achieving long-term stability in the region.
