摘要

摘要:本研究探讨了政治家、立法者、律师和法官中的宗教文盲如何导致歧视性立法和对宗教少数群体的迫害增加。我们着眼于三个背景下的法律和立法,魁北克、美国和印度,那里的反宗教情绪和暴力主要针对穆斯林。更具体地说,我们考察了魁北克省的法律尝试,以排他性laïcité的形式,规范省内的宗教和宗教标志;最近关于将印度巴布里清真寺改建为印度教寺庙的裁决;以及美国的反伊斯兰教法综上所述,这些反穆斯林法案的理由使人们对宗教和法律制度的无知永久化,导致了对宗教少数群体的歧视。我们的结论是,宗教文盲,更具体地说,在司法和立法机构的层面上,对世界各地宗教少数群体,特别是穆斯林的安全和福祉构成了紧迫的威胁。

Religious Literacy in Law: Anti-Muslim Initiatives in Quebec, the United States, and India
Abstract This inquiry examines how religious illiteracy amongst politicians, legislators, lawyers, and judges could lead to discriminatory legislations and increased persecution against religious minorities. We look at laws and legislations in three contexts, Quebec, the USA, and India, where anti-religious sentiments and violence are predominantly directed against Muslims. More specifically, we examine Quebec’s legal attempts, in the form of exclusive laïcité, to regulate religion and religious signs within the province; the recent ruling about converting the Babri mosque in India into a Hindu Temple; and anti-Shariah laws in the United States. Taken together, these justifications for anti-Muslim bills perpetuated illiteracy about both religion and the legal systems, leading the conditions for discrimination against religious minorities. We conclude that religious illiteracy, more specifically on the level of judiciaries and legislative bodies, presents a pressing threat to the safety and wellbeing of religious minorities, Muslims in particular, around the world.
