“…In fact in Canada, subjective religiosity among Muslims was associated with lower levels of distress more so than among non-Muslims. These findings are consistent with previous research indicating that ethno-racial origins are more important than religion as a factor in reports of discrimination by Muslims both in France and Canada (Reitz et al 2009, 711; Amiraux 2012, 25, 143).…”

This study examines theories of Muslim minority integration as these apply to republican France and multicultural Canada, using data on psychological distress as a key measure. Based on the 2001–2002 Canadian Community Health Survey and the 2008 French Enquête sur la Santé et la Protection Sociale, we find Muslim minorities experience higher levels of psychological distress than non-Muslims, not only in France but also in Canada. The Muslim difference is unrelated to religious attachment and rather is partly explained by high rates of unemployment or labor market inactivity.

“…It illustrates the confusion and overlaps that occur in concrete situations, religion being one of the categories intersecting with gender and race in most of the headscarf controversies in EU member states. Muslims figure as a perfect example of the interactive dynamics operating between multiple variables that somehow lead to an "ethnicization" or "racialization" of religious characteristics (Modood, 2007;Phillips, 2007 10 ), Muslim women wearing the headscarf embodying the climax of the complex inequalities challenging antidiscrimination tools (Amiraux, 2007a(Amiraux, , 2007bMalik, 2008). As J. Bowen's comparative contribution to this issue reminds us, both internal (internal restrictions on the rights of believers that originate from their own religious community) and external religious discrimination (equal rights and capacities to practice religion) provide good illustrations of normative grounding for antidiscrimination laws (what he calls "religious fairness"), for they tell us which sorts of discriminations are to be tolerated or condemned both in secular and nonsecular contexts.…”

This introduction to a pluridisciplinary comparative analysis of European antidiscrimi nation policies and practices provides a critical assessment of current European empirical developments and the analytical issues that they raise. The authors' argument builds upon the tension between the improvement of the protection of rights to equal treatment and the intensification of xenophobia in the European Union. Can proequality policies developed in a hostile context make a difference? The first part of the introduction provides an analytical framework to account for the emergence and implementation of an antidiscrimination policy framework in the European Union. The second part assesses the limits of this new paradigm in particular as far as the categorization and measurement of discrimination are concerned. It focuses on the broader impact of the development of antidiscrimination policies and jurisprudence and on the way "vulnerable populations" have made use of it.
