  • It’s Haram, but Who Am I to Judge? Exploring and Unpacking Muslims’ Religious Perspectives Toward Homosexuality

    Open AccessAzabar, N Geurts et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2026References: 54

    Across Europe, Muslims are generally portrayed as opposing homosexuality; however, recent studies have shown that the relationship between Muslims and homosexuality is more complex. In this study, we try to further understand how Islamic religiosity shapes Dutch Muslims' (multilayered) perspectives on sexual orientation (and, connectedly, sexuality and gender identity) in the Netherlands, while taking an intersectional perspective particularly re…

  • Religious Transformation and Cultural Narratives

    Open AccessAzabarARTICLEJournal of Religion in Europe2025

    This article reviews Religion, Gender and Race in Western European Arts and Culture: Thinking through religious transformation by Nella van den Brandt, a work that critically investigates women’s religious transformations at the intersection of religion, race and gender. The author explores how religious change—such as conversion, intensifying one’s faith or disengagement—manifests in film, literature and other cultural forms. Van den Brandt unra…

  • Understanding unlikely alliances in Europe

    Open AccessAzabar, Saskia Gla et al.ARTICLEPolitics2025References: 65

    This article examines support for populist radical right (PRR) parties among people with ethno-religious minority backgrounds, who tend to be vilified by PRR. We explore a theoretical framework that underscores mechanisms that might be at play, including interplays between general (e.g. anti-immigration attitudes) and minority-specific mechanisms (e.g. discrimination). Drawing on 10 rounds of European Social Survey data (2004–2023), this study ad…

  • Gendered patterns of support for Maghrebian origin candidates in Belgium

    Chloé Janssen, Sigrid Van Trappen et al.ARTICLEPolitics Groups and Identities2022References: 32

    The aim of this paper is to highlight the existence of gendered patterns of support for Maghrebian origin candidates. We investigate whether and how these patterns can be explained by voters’ ethnicity and parties’ supply of Maghrebian origin male and/or female candidates. We use data collected through an exit poll survey during the 2018 local elections in Belgium. The survey includes a mock ballot and a questionnaire, which allows us to link dem…

  • The electoral agency of Muslimahs

    Azabar, Peter ThijssenARTICLENew Community2022Cited by: 4References: 44

    Muslim women are often portrayed as submissive and oppressed, and blamed for a lack of political agency. At the same time, intersectional studies point out that Muslimahs manifest a pious critical agency while engaging in political activities. Yet, quantitatively and electorally speaking, less is known about gender differences in vote choices of Muslims, notably which candidates they support. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by exa…
