Hope for coexistence. European jurisprudence towards islam
The area of both the European Union and the Council of Europe is inhabited by a considerable and still increasing number of Islam believers. We are facing a new and growing phenomenon of either a meeting or a clash of two cultures. This entails a question of the European — judicial dimension of the contact of the two major religions: Christianity and Islam and also on the grounds of different cultures. The author raised the problem against the backdrop of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights which involves the Islamic aspect. Analysing selected judicial decisions of the ECHR, the author indicates the existence of an interesting research problem and attempts to formulate an appropriate solution.
