Abstract

Abstract Although diverging influences have always characterized the relation between religion and democracy, in Italy, tensions arising from these divergences are especially exacerbated by the country’s current religious diversity and plurality, and they are magnified when combined with chronic emergencies such as immigration and international terrorism. These critical factors complicate the application of freedom of religion and the supreme principle of secularism (principio supremo di laicità), which are essential parts of the Italian legal system. This article analyzes these aspects of the law by considering the relation between Islamic communities and the state. In particular, the article focuses on both endogenous influences (Italy’s traditional system of state-church relationship) and exogenous influences (immigration and international terrorism). These factors muddle the interpretation of constitutional rights, including the right of Muslims and Islamic groups to be equal and equally free before the law.
意大利穆斯林在恐惧和不安全时代的法律待遇
尽管宗教与民主之间的关系一直存在分歧,但在意大利,由这些分歧引起的紧张局势尤其因该国当前的宗教多样性和多元性而加剧,并在与移民和国际恐怖主义等长期紧急情况相结合时被放大。这些关键因素使宗教自由和世俗主义最高原则的适用复杂化,而这两项原则是意大利法律制度的重要组成部分。本文通过考虑伊斯兰社区与国家之间的关系来分析法律的这些方面。文章特别关注内生影响(意大利传统的政教关系体系)和外生影响(移民和国际恐怖主义)。这些因素混淆了对宪法权利的解释,包括穆斯林和伊斯兰团体在法律面前平等自由的权利。
