FAU Research Center for Islam and Law in Europe (FAU EZIRE)

The FAU Research Center for Islam and Law in Europe (FAU EZIRE) conducts multidisciplinary research into Muslim life in the context of constitutional European states. It investigates how European legal systems react to Muslim life, and how Muslims’ perception of themselves and the autonomous organization of religion develop in this context. These questions are considered in a broader context encompassing societal developments in Europe and connections to developments outside Europe regarding law, religion, political and social change. EZIRE’s research considers the issues from a perspective of research into social sciences, law, Islamic studies and religious studies.
