  • France 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    FRANCE 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution and the law protect the right of individuals to choose, change, and practice their religion. The government investigated and prosecuted numerous crimes and other actions against religious groups, including anti-Semitic and anti- Muslim violence, hate speech, and vandalism. The government continued to enforce laws prohibiting face coverings in public spaces and government buildings and the wearing of “conspicuous” religious symbols at public schools, which included a ban on headscarves and Sikh turbans. The highest administrative court rejected the city of Villeneuve-Loubet’s ban on “clothes demonstrating an obvious religious affiliation worn by swimmers on public beaches.” The ban was directed at full-body swimming suits worn by some Muslim women. ISIS claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack in Nice during the July 14 French independence day celebration that killed 84 people without regard for their religious belief. President Francois Hollande condemned the attack as an act of radical Islamic terrorism. Prime Minister (PM) Manuel Valls cautioned against scapegoating Muslims or Islam for the attack by a radical extremist group. The government extended a state of emergency until July 2017. The government condemned anti- Semitic, anti-Muslim, and anti-Catholic acts and continued efforts to promote interfaith understanding through public awareness campaigns and by encouraging dialogues in schools, among local officials, police, and citizen groups. Jehovah’s Witnesses reported 19 instances in which authorities interfered with public proselytizing by their community. There were continued reports of attacks against Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The government, as well as Muslim and Jewish groups, reported the number of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim incidents decreased by 59 percent and 58 percent respectively from the previous year to 335 anti-Semitic acts and 189 anti-Muslim acts.

  • Multicultural Analysis in Australia from Socio-Demographic Perspective
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2020 2020, Vol. 7, No. 1, 1-19 ISSN: 2149-1291 http://dx.doi.org/10.29333/ejecs/280 Ethnic or Religious Identities?: Multicultural Analysis in Australia from Socio-Demographic Perspective Yaghoob Foroutan1 Department of Social Sciences, University of Mazandaran, Iran Abstract: Focusing on the data of ethnic and religious identities in a multiethnic and multicultural context, this paper provides research-based evidence to explain whether and how significantly such data could be reliable from a social and demographic perspective. The explanation is based on population census that also provides unique nation-wide data sources on ‘religious affiliation’. The field of this study is the multiethnic and multicultural context of Australia that holds a large variety of ethnic, religious and cultural groups from throughout the world. According to the findings of the present analysis, this paper argues that if ethnic migrants belonging to the same category of religious affiliation are considered as a single group without taking their ethnic origins into account, this will lead to insufficient, incomplete, and misleading knowledge. Keywords: ethnic and religious identities, multicultural Australia, social and demographic characteristics. Introduction Dealing with data on ethnic and religious identities in a multiethnic and multicultural context, this paper provides research-based evidence to explain whether and how significantly such data could be reliable from a social and demographic perspective. It presents research- based evidence to examine this key research question: ‘how reliable would our analysis on ethnic migrants’ religion be if we used official data sources?’. In particular, this paper provides empirical evidence to explore the existence and the extent of the reliability of studies on immigrants’ religion based on official data.

  • Muslim Fertility , Religion and Religiousness
    1 02/21/07 Fertility and Religiousness Among European Muslims Charles F. Westoff and Tomas Frejka There seems to be a popular belief that Muslim fertility in Europe is much higher than that of non-Muslims. Part of this belief stems from the general impression of high fertility in some Muslim countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. This notion is typically transferred to Muslims living in Europe with their increasing migration along with concerns about numbers and assimilability into European society. I The first part of this paper addresses the question of how much difference there is between Muslim and non-Muslim fertility in Europe (in those countries where such information is available). At the beginning of the 21 st century, there are estimated to be approximately 40 – 50 million Muslims in Europe. Almost all of the Muslims in Central and Eastern Europe live in the Balkans. (Kosovo, although formally part of Serbia, is listed as a country in Table 1). In Western Europe the majority of Muslims immigrated after the Second World War. The post-war economic reconstruction and boom required considerably more labor than was domestically available. There were two principal types of immigration to Western Europe: (a) from countries of the respective former colonial empires; and (b) from Southern Europe, the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Turkey. As much of this immigration took place during the 1950s and 1960s large proportions of present-day Muslims are second and third generation descendants. Immigrants to France came mostly from the former North African colonies Algeria (± 35 percent), Morocco (25 percent) and Tunisia (10 percent), and also from Turkey (10 percent).

Their implication at the national level challenges negative stereotypes on Islam in France and potentially reshapes their relations with public authorities in the provision of welfare services. Covid-19 rapidly spreads in the entire world. We need to stick together, as only a global response would be able to stop the virus proliferation. (…) We try to support vulnerable people in France, but it is also crucial to keep in mind refugees and displaced persons abroad who risk once again to be victims if no one can contain the epidemic (…). As France is being struck by the Covid-19 pandemic, the message above was captured during a live-stream video on theFacebook page of Human Appeal 1 of 10 #text-2 h3 { background-image: url(https://allegralaboratory.net/wp-content/themes/simplemag-child/images/acad emic-slow-food-manifesto.png); width: 297px; height: 218px; padding: 0; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; max-width: 100%; background-size: contain; margin: 0; text-indent: -9999px; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; } France, one of the biggest French Muslim NGOs.
