Religious symbols are loaded with meaning, not only for those who display them. They have generated controversy in many circles, be they religious or secular, public or private, and within or outside academia. Debate has taken place throughout Europe and beyond, at times leading to limitations or bans of religious symbols. While this debate might seem whimsical in occasional flare-ups, it merits closer scrutiny, precisely because it is part of a long-running debate, it crosses boundaries and because it touches upon larger underlying questions. This book singles out a particularly contentious issue: religious symbols in public functions and it focuses on the judiciary, the police and public education. It is often argued that public officials in these functions should be 'neutral' which consequently implies that they cannot display religious symbols. This book aims to unravel this line of thought to the core. It disentangles the debate as it has been conducted in the Netherlands and studies the concept of state neutrality in depth. Furthermore, it appraises the arguments put forward against the background of three contexts: the European Convention on Human Rights, France and England. It critically questions whether state neutrality can necessitate and/or even justify limitations on the freedom of public officials to display religious symbols. Although this book is the result of an academic legal study, it can be read by students, academics, professionals, or anyone interested in the issue of religious symbols in public functions.

Madrid, Londen, Parijs ... en onze eigen hoofdstad, 22 maart 2016 - de aanslagen in het hart van België en van Europa. Het veiligheidsbeleid staat op scherp en we beroepen ons voor het eerst in lange tijd opnieuw op 'normen en waarden', op de traditie van 'de Verlichting' en op 'de moderniteit'. Maar weinigen benoemen de beginselen van de grote verlichte denkers en de betekenis die ze vandaag hebben voor moderne samenlevingen: het belang van democratie en rechtsstaat, van universele rechten en plichten. Het debat lijkt soms stuurloos. Toch gaat het om de grondslagen van een moderne democratie die rust op juridisch geordend gezag dat vertrekt vanuit rechten en vrijheden van zijn burgers en verantwoordingsplicht van autoriteiten. Waarin veel plaats is voor de fundamentele vrijheid van mening en van godsdienst, maar ook beperkingen. Nu we geen homogene samenleving meer zijn, wordt samenleven op de proef gesteld. We vergaten werk te maken van burgerschap als attitude en verzeilden te vaak in wij-zijstandpunten. Dit boek bundelt essays van uiteenlopende hedendaagse publicisten en overstijgt die retoriek. Het duidt de basisbeginselen van onze samenleving opnieuw en toont de meerwaarde ervan voor de maatschappij én voor de burgers aan. Voor álle burgers - zonder enig onderscheid.
