ABSTRACT

Islam is becoming more visible than ever before in the West. The idea of

being Muslim in a public space and consequently the visibility of the symbols of the

Muslim population in European countries have paved the way for some

implications. This article will discuss these implications from the perspectives of

John Rawls and Carl Schmitt. The first two parts outline the ideas of John Rawls and

Carl Schmitt via their books and secondary sources. The third part will analyse the

concept of religious freedom in European countries and the political decisions and

legal implementations regarding this issue, before attempting to reveal Rawls’ and

Schmitt’s theoretical framework by examining a number of specific cases.
