This book describes the legal treatment of Muslims in Italy, contrasting it with other European states and jurisprudence and with wider global tendencies. The study presents a series of case studies and a theoretical framework built around the concepts of religious freedom, state neutrality and church and state collaboration. The author argues that this model, which combines the state level with the supranational level in the form of the European Convention of Human Rights, better accommodates religious freedom not just for Muslims, but for wider society, in Italy and elsewhere.
Islam is a growing presence practically everywhere in Europe. In Italy, however, Islam has met a unique model of state neutrality, religious freedom and church and state collaboration. This book gives a detailed description of the legal treatment of Muslims in Italy, contrasting it with other European states and jurisprudence, and with wider global tendencies that characterize the treatment of Islam. Through focusing on a series of case studies, the author argues that the relationship between church and state in Italy, and more broadly in Europe, should be reconsidered both to secure religious freedom and general welfare. Working on the concepts of religious freedom, state neutrality, and relationship between church and state, Andrea Pin develops a theoretical framework that combines the state level with the supranational level in the form of the European Convention of Human Rights, which ultimately shapes a unitary but flexible understanding of pluralism. This approach should better accommodate not just Muslims'' needs, but religious needs in general in Italy and elsewhere.
