The legal texts are published in the original German language while the annotations and supporting material are in English. By legal documents are meant the texts of legislation, including relevant secondary legislation, as well as significant court decisions. Each legal text is preceded by an introduction describing the historical, political and legal circumstances of its adoption, plus a short paragraph summarising its content. The focus of the collection is on the religious dimensions of being Muslim in Europe, i.e. on individuals' access to practise their religious obligations and on the ability to organise and manifest their religious life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by the Editors  Preface    1 Historical Background and Social Facts   1.1 Austria and Islam before the 19th Century   1.2 The Act on Islam 1912   1.3 Social Facts    2 The Status of Religious Communities in Austria   2.1 Fundamental Law Guarantees   2.2 Legally Recognised Churches and Religious Societies   2.3 State-Registered Religious Denominational Communities   2.4 Religious Communities as Non-profit Associations    3 The Federal Act on Islamic Religious Societies    4 Islamische Glaubensgemeinschaft in Österreich (IGGÖ)   4.1 Introduction   4.2 The Federal Act on Islamic Religious Societies   4.3 The Internal Law of the Islamic Religious Society in Austria    5 (Islamic) Alevi Religious Society in Austria   5.1 Alevis in Austria   5.2 Islamgesetz (the Federal Act on Islamic Religious Societies)   5.3 The Internal Law of the (IslamicAlevi Religious Society in Austria    6 Islamic State-Registered Religious Denominational Communities   6.1 Introduction   6.2 Islamic-Shiite Religious Community in Austria\/(Shia)—Islamisch-schiitische Glaubensgemeinschaft in Österreich (Schia)    7 Alevite State-Registered Religious Denominational Communities   7.1 Introduction   7.2 Alt-Alevitische Glaubensgemeinschaft in Österreich (AAGÖ)    8 Muslims in Integration Law    9 The Financing of Islamic Religious Societies   9.1 Cultus Contributions   9.2 Foreign Financing of Normal Activities   9.3 Tax Law   9.4 Indirect Financing of Religious Communities    10 Mosques and Prayer Rooms    11 Islamic Funerals and Graveyards   11.1 State Regulations   11.2 Islamic Funeral Provisions   11.3 Islamic Graveyards    12 Education and Schooling   12.1 Constitutional Guarantees   12.2 Religious Education   12.3 Religion and Schooling—General Introduction   12.4 School Time Regulations   12.5 Religious Instruction   12.6 Islamic Private Schools    13 Islam in Tertiary Educational Institutions   13.1 Islamic Religious Teacher Education   13.2 Islamic Theology and Religious Pedagogics at State Universities   13.3 Private Universities    14 Special Pastoral Care   14.1 Introduction   14.2 Chaplaincy in Healthcare Institutions   14.3 Chaplaincy in Prisons   14.4 Chaplaincy in the Armed Forces    15 Employment and Social Law   15.1 Introduction   15.2 Employment Contract   15.3 Manifestations of Religion by Employees   15.4 The Religiously Orientated Employers   15.5 Anti-discrimination Law   15.6 Religious Holidays and Free Time to Fulfil Religious Duties   15.7 Social Law    16 Islamic Slaughter and Dietary Rules   16.1 Islamic Ritual Slaughter   16.2 Islamic Dietary Rules    17 Islamic Dress   17.1 Kindergarten and School   17.2 Islamic Dress in Hospitals   17.3 The Islamic Veil in the Courtroom   17.4 Headscarves on Passport Photos    18 Family Law   18.1 Matrimonial Law   18.2 Parent and Child Law   18.3 Private International Law    19 Criminal Law   19.1 Introduction   19.2 The Protection of Religious Peace   19.3 Religion as Qualifying Element of an Offence   19.4 Confessional Secret   19.5 Female Genital Mutilation   19.6 Forced Marriage   19.7 Cruelty to Animals    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52151634461015,"sku":"9789004445123","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/annotated-legal-documents-on-islam-in-europe-austria-9789004445123","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
