L’islamisme officiel marocain et la lutte contre les plaisirs

Jean-Francois Clement

clementjf{at}wanadoo.fr

English

The official Moroccan Islamists of the PJD (Party for Justice and Development), here studied through articles in their press (the Tajdîd daily newspaper), from time to time denounce the pleasures offered in contemporary Moroccan society. Thus, it is possible to see which pleasures are significant for them but also we can discover how they conceive of what is called by them the divine Law. This is perceived to be a remote ideal to introduce gradually into the customs, according to alliances with non-Islamists, relating to the present political climate. It is not God who imposes His Law, but men who organize religion with their rules, according to the contingent forces.

French

Les islamistes officiels marocains du PJD (Parti pour la Justice et le Développement), étudiés au travers des articles de leur presse (le quotidien Tajdîd), dénoncent, de temps à autre, les plaisirs offerts dans l'actuelle société marocaine. Cela permet de voir quels plaisirs sont importants à leurs yeux mais aussi de savoir comment ils conçoivent ce qu'ils appellent la Loi divine. Celle-ci est perçue comme un idéal lointain à introduire progressivement dans les moeurs selon des alliances conjoncturelles, et très politiques, avec des non-islamistes. Ce n'est pas Dieu qui impose sa Loi, mais les hommes qui bricolent avec leurs règles selon des rapports de forces contingents.

Key Words: islamism • Morocco • pleasures
