This contribution zooms in on a particularly disconcerting development in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, that is visible in several recent cases brought by religious minorities with a migrant background, in which the Court accepts – in the name of (requirements for) integration – far-reaching restrictions on the rights of these religious minorities with a migrant background to be respected in their own religiously inspired way of life. The Court furthermore glosses over a context of Islamophobia and related stereotypes, thus failing to identify and counter instances of discrimination on grounds of religion. The article argues that the ECtHR in these cases not only drifts away from the counter-majoritarian core of human rights protection, turning several of its steady lines of jurisprudence favourable to (the effective protection of) minorities’ fundamental rights on their head, but also allows States to basically push religious minorities with a migrant background out of the public space/public schools, in the name of social integration – an integrated society. Ultimately, States are contesting the substantive citizenship of religious minorities with a migrant background and the Court, unfortunately, enables them to exclude and marginalise these religious minorities with a migrant background. The Court thus disregards the foundational value of the right to equal treatment for the human rights paradigm, and moves away from an equal and inclusive citizenship. Put differently, the Court enables governments to dress up Islamophobic, exclusionary agenda’s with a human face, thus challenging the boundaries of citizenship in the name of ‘integration’.

ECtHR 的整合推理：挑战少数民族公民的界限

这一贡献放大了欧洲人权法院判例中一个特别令人不安的发展，这在最近几起由具有移民背景的宗教少数群体提起的案件中可见一斑，在这些案件中，法院接受了——以（要求）的名义融合——对这些具有移民背景的宗教少数群体的权利进行了深远的限制，这些权利在他们自己受宗教启发的生活方式中得到尊重。法院进一步掩盖了仇视伊斯兰教和相关陈规定型观念的背景，从而未能查明和反驳基于宗教原因的歧视情况。文章认为，欧洲人权法院在这些案例中不仅偏离了人权保护的反多数主义核心，将其几条有利于（有效保护）少数群体基本权利的稳定判例转向他们的头脑，但也允许国家基本上以移民的名义将具有移民背景的宗教少数群体赶出公共空间/公立学校社会融合——一个融合的社会。最终，各国正在争夺具有移民背景的宗教少数群体的实质性公民身份，不幸的是，法院使它们能够排除和边缘化这些具有移民背景的宗教少数群体。因此，法院无视人权范式平等待遇权的基本价值，并远离平等和包容的公民身份。换句话说，法院使政府能够用人性化的面孔装扮仇视伊斯兰的、排他性的议程，
