Church and State in the Netherlands: The Case of Islam

  • Chapter
Politik und Religion in der Europäischen Union

Abstract

Since the beginning of the new millennium, a heated debate has been taking place in the Netherlands on multi-cultural society. After the political revolution that Pirn Fortuyn caused in 2002’ peoples‘ ideas are changing. Consensus on multi-cultural society as a successful project disappears to make room for rather negative evaluations. Politicians from different ideologies claim that multi-cultural society is a failure. Politicians, opinion leaders and media icons are involved in this loud debate, which cannot be seen loose from the debate on the status of the European Union and the position the Netherlands hold in it. Serious doubts concerning the future of the European Union have led to the rejection of the proposal for the European Constitution on June 1st 2005.
