امنیتی‌سازی هویت دینی مهاجرین مسلمان در فرانسه

Description

Abstract

The securitization of the religious identity of Muslim immigrants in France is one of the key challenges in the interaction between immigration, identity politics, and security policies in this country. Given the central role of secularism (laïcité) in the political and social structure of France, Muslim immigrants are often at the intersection of cultural assimilation policies and security concerns. This research seeks to answer the question of how the securitization of the religious identity of Muslim immigrants in France through security policies and discourses has affected citizenship rights, cultural identity, and social cohesion? The security policies and discourses of the French government, especially after the terrorist attacks, have led to restrictions on citizenship rights, exacerbation of social divisions, and a decrease in national cohesion by strengthening the securitization of the religious identity of Muslim immigrants. This research examines the process of securitization of Muslim religious identity in France, analyzing the impact of security policies and discourses on the social life, civil rights, and cultural identity of this group. It also examines the French government’s responses to terrorist threats and the use of secular discourse as a tool to legitimize security measures.

This article argues that restrictive policies, such as the ban on religious symbols in public places, have not only turned Muslim religious identity into a security issue, but have also exacerbated social divisions and reduced national cohesion. By analyzing media discourses, enacted laws, and their social consequences, this research sheds light on the consequences of securitization on peaceful coexistence and social cohesion in France. The results indicate that adopting more comprehensive approaches and reviewing existing policies is necessary to strengthen social justice and reduce identity tensions
