Ortodoxy and islam. Attempt at an approach

Autor se u svome članku najprije približava nekim stavovima postkoncilske Zapadne teologije, a zatim naglašava da islam u pravoslavnom bogoslovlju nije nikad imao onakav tretman kakav je imao na Zapadu s Drugim vatikanskim koncilom i u rabinskoj teologiji. Da bi odnosi između historijskog kršćanstva i historijskog islama krenuli drugim putem, pravoslavno bogoslovlje najprije treba nešto promijeniti u svojoj spoznaji islama. To mu pak neće biti moguće dok se kritički ne obračuna sa svojim srednjovjekovnim teološkim nasljeđem. No, do danas pravoslavni istok toga nije učinio pa nam najprije nedostaje svepravoslavno viđenje islama. Zbog toga se ništa značajno i ne događa u odnosima sunitske uleme i Pravoslavne crkve.In this article the author first draws closer to the attitudes of the Postcouncil Western Theologv; then he points out the fact that Islam has never had such a treatment in Ortodox theologv as it has in the west with the Second Vatican Council or in the rabbinical theologv. In order to change the course of relations betvveen the historical christianitv and historical islam, the ortodox theologv has to make some changes in its perception of islam, which cannot be realised until the ortodox church settles accounts with its medieval theological legacv. However, so far, the Ortodox East has not done this yet and, consequently, there is no all-ortodoxy vision of islam. Therefore, nothing much important has been going on in the relations between the Suni Ulema and Ortodox church
