| Title | Migration and Ripped Identities: The paradigm of Queer Migrant Muslims in European Countries |
| Summary | The debate over Islam’s compatibility with the Western civilization resurfaced with the inflow of asylum seekers to Western countries, deeming that the values of Islam might not be compatible with liberal Western ideals. In this regard, queer Muslims with their intersectional socio-political location face double discrimination, as they challenge the monolithic image made about them, both in regard to their gender, as well as in regard to their religious and ethnic identities. This underrepresented group experiences a triple consciousness that is torn between the different layers of their identity, namely religion, gender, and ethnicity. According to the findings queer Muslims, are navigating the existence of homosexuality not just inside their cultural, religious, and ethnic groups, but also within the Western world. Queer Muslims occupying the intersectional politico-social location challenges the monolithic image that the West has portrayed of the East. Moreover, the research explores the conceptual process of othering and its embodiment as homonationalism. |
