Paper long abstract
Starting from the simple, but often overlooked, observation that secular and secularism are labels which may express different, if not contradictory, ideologies this paper explores the complex dynamics of the discussion surrounding secularism and Islam in Europe. This will be achieved by analysing how my Muslim respondents have interpreted the concepts of secular and secularism through what I have called an ideology of justice.
