Le martyre et le suicide dans l'Islam contemporain revêt une double importance. D'une part, on enregistre, dans le monde chiite et sunnite, une production intellectuelle extrêmement importante sur le sujet, qui non seulement concerne les religieux musulmans mais intéresse aussi les autres penseurs et par-delà la reflexion en Occident. D'autre part, les événements actuels en terre d'Islam et ailleurs montrent l'importance de ce phénomène qui interroge les sciences sociales. Le martyre est ici abordé sous différents aspects, afin d'en cerner la signification multiple, par des spécialistes de différentes disciplines: sociologues, anthropologues, politologues, psychologues et chercheurs en communication.La discussion autour des interventions de Maher SHARIF, Farhad KHOSROKHAVAR et Faleh A. JABAR aborde les problèmes politiques liés à la question des martyrs et de la lutte entre chiites et sunnites dans l’Islam contemporain.
