Migrants’ right to religious freedom
as a reason for cultural changes in European host countries
KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Subject of research: Migrants (refugees) enjoy extensive religious freedom under
international documents. However, one of the problems raised as part of the
migration (refugee) issue is the claim that they form some kind of danger to the
religion of the host society. An influx of Islamic people into a Christian society is
construed as a major threat to the religious integrity of that society.
Aim of research: This paper investigates the hypothesis that massive migration
combined with religious freedom lead to cultural changes in host European
countries. The issue also concerns national security and public policy, which are
threatened by terrorist activities motivated by religion. Nevertheless, this issue
evolved from a legal problem to a political and cultural one.
Methodology: The main method used in the paper is formal-dogmatic. The
paper focuses on analyses of the provisions of international human rights as well
as case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice
of the European Union. The historical method used for the analyses of case law
allowed for theoretical considerations of the impact of migration on the cultural
behavior of societies in host countries.
