We conducted lost letter experiments and find that distinctively religious Muslim groups are indeed discriminated against, although not to a larger degree than Christian sects. Moreover, discrimination against Muslims decreases when there is no reference to religiousness. In sum, the discrimination against Muslims seems mainly to be a result of distinctive religious characteristics attributed to this group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"container-2483-item-2477\" class=\"container-item\">\n<div class=\"content-item cg-secondary\">\n<div class=\"component component-content-item component-content-summary abstract_or_excerpt\">\n<div class=\"content-box box no-border no-padding no-header vertical-margin-bottom null\">\n<div class=\"content-box-body null\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"container-2483-item-2484\" class=\"container-item\">\n<div class=\"content-item cg-secondary\">\n<div class=\"component component-content-item component-content-metadata \">\n<div class=\"content-box box no-border no-padding no-header vertical-margin-bottom null\">\n<div class=\"content-box-body null\">\n<div class=\"definition-list list-count-1 single-line\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<dl>\n<dt class=\"keywords\"><b>Keywords: <\/b>discrimination; Islam; lost letter experiment; religion; secularization<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s) : Roger Berger, Jo\u00ebl Berger Source : https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2478\/sjs-2019-0005 Abstract:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[167],"tags":[582,7,37,57,151,9,82,223,566,116,444,168,376,96,97],"class_list":["post-2860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ethnicity-languages-religion-arts","tag-582","tag-article","tag-attitudes-towards-migrants","tag-comparative-analysis","tag-cultural-identity","tag-english-language","tag-ethnic-discrimination","tag-islam","tag-islamophobia","tag-muslims","tag-religious-institutions","tag-religious-practice","tag-urban-areas","tag-voting-behaviour","tag-xenophobia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
