Africani d'italia
No full textNegli ultimi anni il dibattito sull’immigrazione è stato spesso associato all’approdo sulle coste italiane di migranti irregolari provenienti dal continente africano, tanto che una parte dell’opinione pubblica ritiene che sia in atto una “invasione dall’Africa”. Con l’obiettivo di ricondurre il dibattito in un quadro di dati veridici, Fabrizio Ciocca illustra la consistenza, le caratteristiche e la distribuzione dei
cittadini africani che vivono in Italia

European academy of religion annual conference. Titolo intervento: Islam in Italy between a potential conflict and islamophobia
No full textIslam in Italy between a potential “conflict” and islamophobia
The aim of this paper is to illustrate how Islamic religion has become a conflict factor in Italy for the past 20 years, in concomitance with the increase of migration from Muslim countries, that has led to public debate on how Islam as a religion is transcending the Italian society, with its values and Constitutional principles. In this narrative the Muslim population is being accused of lack of loyalty, which for many is more to their faith (and to the Islamic law, Sharia) than the State where they are living, in this case Italy and furthermore they are - according also to this view - reluctant to integrate in the society due the fact they would prefer to maintain their traditions and culture. This vision, often spread by mass-media, portraying Islam as incompatible with “Us”, strongly impacts on 2.6 million Muslim people, among which one million have Italian citizenship, which leads to increase of islamophobia at every level, and the growth of some political parties who in their agenda put as a priority the contrast of the “islamization” in Italian society.
For the past 30 years Muslim associations have been founded and the following are the most important: Islamic Cultural Centre (located inside the Mosque in Rome, is one of the biggest in Europe), it was established by the diplomatic delegates of the Islamic countries; the Italian Organization of Islamic Communities-U.C.O.I.I led by the first students and migrants who arrived in the ‘90s; CO.RE.IS, founded by first Italians converted to Islam.
This organizations have expressed leaderships that have tried to mediate the “conflict” and to find an agreement with the Italia State, that for non Catholic confession, is ruled by art. 8 of Constitution, however since 1990 to date, all attempts have had no success. The results is that today the second most followed religion in Italy doesn’t have a public recognition and any time a local Muslim community aims to build or obtain a license to open a new Mosque, that is under by Regional laws, has become an issue.
Consequently local residents are concerned due to their “phobia” of hypotethical illegal activities that could happen inside, and most of the time Muslims opt to rent a garage in hidden locations transforming it to a place of worship (despite article 19 of Italian constitutions that states: “everyone have the right to profess their religious faith in any form)
Young Muslims and Sport: Italy as case-study
No full textSport is generally considered as a tool to encourage the integration of young foreigners in diaspora land and of individuals from different ethnic communities. However, with regard to the Muslim population in non-Islamic societies, this concept poses critical issues, as emerges from various re-searches at the European level (Hargreaves 2007; Pfister 2008; Benn 2011).
In fact, for young Muslims, teachings and norms related to the Islamic religion and cultural as-pects of their background can conflict with practicing sports. As regards the Italian context, the Muslim population, about 2.5 million of which one million with Italian citizenship, sees a signifi-cant number of young people, grown up or born in the Country, who are in a position to practice sports since starting from schools.
The target of this paper is therefore to present some interesting indications concerning the atti-tudes and opinions of young Muslims towards sport came from a questionnaire and some focus groups, carried out between October and December 2020, to a sample of boys and girls of GMI, the oldest Islamic youth association in Italy.
The frame that emerges sees on one hand, the majority of interviewees to consider sport an im-portant activity that can promote social inclusion processes, on the other hand a series of issues when they have to deal with the “sport environment”, that requests to comply with specific regula-tions, to wear uniforms, to train in spaces that are not separated between genders or to forbid in several cases of being able to wear the Islamic veil (hijab), etc

International and internal migration:challenges and opportunities in Europe. Titolo intervento. Muslim immigration:how urban spaces in Italian cities change
No full textMuslim immigration: how change urban spaces in Italian cities
Migration flows from Islamic countries into Italy are already evident starting from the 80s, characterized by a strong male presence in search of work, coming first from the Arab countries (especially Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia) and in a second phase, among the the 90s and two thousand, from those in Asia (Bangladesh and Pakistan in the first place) and Europeans (Albania and Bosnia). Initially, Muslim workers settled mostly in the northern regions, as labor for small and medium-sized industries. Subsequently, the Islamic presence has gradually stabilized, thanks also to family reunification, and currently stands at around two and a half million people (both foreigners and Italian citizenship).
The Islamic communities, initially composed mainly of immigrants, then began to settle in the peripheral areas of the city, due to the low cost of the rentals. Subsequently, over the years, in the neighbourhoods / areas of greater Muslim "concentration", several 'spontaneous' places of worship and a whole series of activities (ethnic shops, cultural centers, etc.) arose which in fact transformed some social-urban traits of cities. The case of Rome is exemplary, where there are about 140,000 Muslims and 5% of all residents in the capital, but half of whom are concentrated in three municipalities (I, V and VI), in which there are urban areas that over time have seen a series of changes to their urban spaces
Islam e migrazioni. Titolo intervento. Musulmani e Sport: aspetti generali tra inclusione e marginalizzazione
No full text“Sport and Muslims: a factor of inclusion or exclusion?”
In a period in which there is a strong growth of populist parties and identity movements asking for protection of Christian and Western values, an apparently neutral theme such as sport is also affected by these problems. As regards the European context, for example, physical education and sporting activity is part of the compulsory school curriculum and sport is considered an element that can favor the integration of immigrants: however this approach does not take into account the vision of "Others”, and in the case-study here considered of the Islamic vision, to which refer many Muslims in Europe (25 million people, and about 1⁄4 less than 18 years). The reference literature and various research highlights the low participation in sport of teenagers and young Muslims, and in particular girls, due to an attitude in which religious, family and cultural elements are mixed. These Muslims often find themselves experiencing a strong tension between the adherence to religious vision, which according to Islamic jurists must provide respect for the dress-code and separate spaces between genders, and school facilities and sports-centres that do not provide for these possibility.
Where there are attempts to promote the participation of Muslim girls trying to meet their needs, for example creating spaces separate from men in municipal swimming pools (such as in Copenhagen) or major clothing companies launch products designed to respect religious indications (e.g. burkini) immediately the populist movements exploit the issue to call for respect for Western values and the public debate turns the spotlight on the alleged lack of Muslim integration. Around these issues, Sport therefore becomes a metaphor and battleground between a vision of closure and openness to the "Others", in which western Societies must choose to what extent they are willing to question their values to encourage the inclusion of all
