Alliance of Civilisations and solidarity between civilisations, a lost occasion for Europe

The programme, ‘Solidarity between Civilisations’ was thought of as the EU’s response to the most difficult challenge to the XXIst century, terrorism (actually I used the expression pseudo-Islamic terrorism, just to underline the fact that those who kill in name of God are no part of any religion). As such it should have been, in my proposal, a part of the external activities of the Commission directed towards the Muslim world. It was the occasion for the EU to promote action that both sides felt the need for. The Philosophy in the Report of the High Level Group (HLG) established in the United Nations of 13th November 2006 is mostly deluding.
