    Religion and healthcare in the European Union : policy issues and trends
    (London : Alliance Publishing Trust, [Brussels] : NEF Initiative on Religion and Democracy in Europe. 2009., 2009) Petrova, Dimitrina; Clifford, Jarlath; Network of European Foundations for Innovative Cooperation
    The impact of religious doctrine on the law, policy and practice of healthcare is becoming increasingly significant for a whole range of issues – from euthanasia to fertility treatment; from belief-based exemption from performing abortion for doctors to the medication and dietary needs of religious patients; from organ donation to contraception; from circumcision to suicide. The relationship between religion and healthcare has a long history of evoking tension and debate in Europe. While developments in medical technologies and techniques question the religious beliefs of policy-makers, practitioners and patients across the European Union, research into the legal and policy responses by EU member states on such issues remains underdeveloped. The challenge of health policy, which is common across the European Union, is to balance fundamental human rights such as the right to equality, the right to health and the right to freedom of religion while adhering to secular principles. This report aims to map out the major issues at stake and to initiate a broader discussion on how the religious needs of the community, religious doctrine and religious practices across the European Union affect public health policy.

    El Islam como anarquismo místico
    (Barcelona : Virus editorial, 2010., 2010-11) Prado, Abdennur
    Portada del libro 'El Islam como anarquismo mistico'.Hay una paradójica convergencia de intereses entre los enemigos del islam y aquellos que quieren ser la autoridad en el islam en estandarizar el hecho musulmán, reducirlo a una sola lectura, a una sola doctrina, haciendo que, en última instancia, la voz y las prácticas de la umma (comunidad de creyentes) dependan de una jerarquía estatal o religiosa. Pero, como indica Abdennur Prado, «el mundo islámico se caracteriza desde sus inicios por la proliferación de corrientes y de modos de entender y vivir el islam, tanto a nivel individual como colectivo».
