29 May 2015. Sheikh Khaled Bentounes is a writer, spiritual thinker and founder of the Muslim Scouts of France. Deeply committed to young people, he raises the following question: “How can we come together without having to be alike, united around a common ideal?” He introduces the Sufi tradition, a form of Islamic spirituality dating back fourteen centuries that nevertheless remains shrouded in mystery. He explains how this spirituality can help us move away from a hierarchical system based on opposition and the suppression of otherness towards a circular model that fosters peace, fraternity and a shared human consciousness.
