%X Le r¨¦cit de la fitna andalouse des ixe-xe si¨¨cles, phase au cours de laquelle l¡¯¨¦mirat omeyyade dut affronter une s¨¦rie de pouvoirs   rebelles   pour finalement en triompher et r¨¦aliser l¡¯unit¨¦ califale, offre un cadre propice pour une interrogation sur l¡¯identification de la fronti¨¨re ethnique et religieuse. Dans le Muqtabis d¡¯Ibn  ayyan, cette fronti¨¨re est m¨ºme exacerb¨¦e puisque l¡¯historien signale le repli sur   l¡¯esprit de corps   (¡®asabiyya) du groupe comme le principal facteur de d¨¦stabilisation de l¡¯ordre l¨¦gitime. Parmi les groupes impliqu¨¦s, la premi¨¨re place revient aux convertis d¡¯origine autochtone (muwallad n), accus¨¦s d¡¯avoir rev¨ºtu le masque de l¡¯islam sans s¡¯¨ºtre fondus dans le moule de l¡¯arabit¨¦. La fitna ¨¦mirale appara t ainsi comme une v¨¦ritable   ¨¨re du soup on   o¨´ les fronti¨¨res religieuses vacillent, r¨¦v¨¦lant ainsi la fragilit¨¦ du processus d¡¯islamisation During the ninth/tenth-century Andalus  fitna the Umayyad emirate confronted various ¡°rebellious¡± centers of power until it subdued them and established unity under the caliphate. The narrative of this fitna offers a good framework for an analysis of the way ethnic and religious boundaries were identified. Such boundaries are much emphasized in Ibn  ayyan¡¯s Muqtabis, where he points out a heightened sense of group solidarity (¡®asabiyya) as one of the principal factors that destabilizes central power. He especially mentions here local converts (muwallad n), accused of donning an Islamic mask without truly becoming Arab. In this way, the fitna appears as an ¡°age of suspicion¡± when religious borders became unstable, thereby revealing the fragility of the process of Islamicization.
