Between Anti-Islamic Sentiment and Liberal Secularism
European Union (EU) institutions have sought to establish a dialogue and relationship with religious organizations in Europe since the 1990s, even though religion is officially a competence of the member states.1 This process has been studied from the point of view of both Christian organizations and European institutions.2 The rising importance for EU institutions regarding issues related to Islam has also been examined, as have the different fo…
Denial and Pragmatism
From halal food to the veil, this article analyses the relationship between Islam and the Danish state. It finds a coexistence of two modes of dealing with Islam: an official approach dominated by denial of the existence of Islam within Danish society and an unwillingness to recognise Muslim religious practices; and a pragmatic approach, mostly found at the local level, that focuses on finding practical solutions. This article argues that the off…

The article builds on mul…

By describing the UGTT’s internal struggles during the dictatorship, the artic…
After the Arab Spring
By voting for Tunisia’s new constitution in January 2014, the Islamist party Ennahda accepted many principles that were in contradiction with Islamist ideology. Most importantly, the party accepted the principle of freedom of consciousness and the absence of a reference to Sharia. This paper argues that, contrary to many theories in the field, the Islamists conceded solely out of necessity. However, after the concessions the leadership of the par…
