theme was North Africa and the riots and the riots of the past two months, but Candy has ranged with many other subjects, taking a real lectio politics, economy and history.
can not compress a few lines in an evening full of arguments and ideas, but for whom there was here a small description of what 'was said.
Candito before going in the topic of the evening took a long historical analysis of Islam from Muhammad to spread the new religion, until the moment of maximum brightness, the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula.
The movements and riots in recent months has claimed Candito are sons of a very long period in which the peoples of North Africa and the Arabian peninsula, were on the edge of the large economic flows and the great discoveries, after until 1200, the Arab civilization had been at the forefront in science and technology, as well as for economic trade.
Candy pointed out that in these riots there is now a religious component to predominate, however, in every state, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco or sultanates, but also of the Arabian Peninsula and Saudi Arabia itself, there are of particular differences.
Libya then said Candito, reality is more 'complex, being an invention created after the withdrawal of colonial powers.
Libya is therefore a conglomeration of tribes' on which Gaddafi so far failed to assert its strength and its domain, while in reality such as Egypt or Tunisia, the STATE component was much 'and a strong opposition even though it was already very weak.
A part of the evening was devoted to the Arabian Peninsula, Iran and Iraq with an explanation of the differences between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, the latter , Predominantly minority in Iran and elsewhere, those who are most 'imposing their religious beliefs and try to expand their influence throughout the Arab world and North Africa.
Candito has of course talked about some personal experiences, including the last in Afghanistan, which ended a few weeks ago, the situation in that state is still very precarious and control of coalition troops and Afghan government in the territory of that state is less than precarious.
Many questions from the audience, both on the behavior of European nations in the predicament of these riots, as well as specific questions on some specific situations such as that of Turkey.
Just the topic Turkey, but non-Arab Muslim nation, closed the evening, Candy said, however, that this country is secular, but ultimately filled with the most current 'radical especially after surgery on Gaza by the Israelis, which has ruined the already excellent bilateral relations between Turkey and Israel.
Just the Palestinian question for decades has been the heart of the problems of these nations, but also a drain valve for the rulers, to forget that the endemic poverty of the population and the rampant corruption, blamed Israel for everything 'that was going wrong.
