Yet, three out of ten Muslims report having <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">experienced discrimination in the previous year, a proportion close to that of other European <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">countries. This gap between a c<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">reed of equality and the widespread experience of discrimination on <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">the part of a minority group is a challenge for Western Europe, marked as it is by growing religious <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and ethnic diversity. This PhD thesis is a sociological inquiry into the extent and nat<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">ure of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">discrimination against Muslims on a national scale, and will answer the following questions: Are <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Muslims disadvantaged on the labour market in Switzerland, and, if so, can this be attributed to ethno<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">religious discrimination? To what extent do Musli<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">ms perceive discrimination? What kind of<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">discrimination do Muslim women who wear the<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">hijab<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">face, and why? Finally, once they have perceived <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">discrimination, to what extent do Muslims report it compared to another religious minority, and what <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">might explain a<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">ny possible differences between the two minority groups? Mobilizing different <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">theoretical frameworks (mainly the theories of attribution, human capital, intersectionality, and <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">choice<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">environment), and drawing on various<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">datasets (population surveys and cen<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">suses, a corpus of<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">qualitative interviews, records of self<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">reports, legal records), our study has produced results that may <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">be useful both academically and in practical terms. These results not only contribute to the existing <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">literature on discrimination,<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">but can also inform policies that aim to reduce anti<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Muslim discrimination <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">in Switzerland in particular, and to address<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">discrimination against ethno<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">&#8211;<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">religious minorities in <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">general.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">En Suisse, toute discrimination publique sur la base de l\u2019apparten<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">ance religieuse est formellement <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">interdite par le code p\u00e9nal depuis 1994. Pourtant, trois musulman\u00b7e\u00b7s sur dix estiment avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">victime de discrimination durant l\u2019ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e, une proportion similaire \u00e0 celle d\u2019autres pays <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">europ\u00e9ens.
