Abstract [en]

This study examines how religious freedom is respected and the importance it is given in municipal action plans against violent extremism. It is based on the following questions: 1. How is religious freedom valued in the demarcation of other values such as equality and freedom of expression? 2. Is it possible in practice to have a manageable plan against radicalization without exceeding the limits of religious freedom? 3. Do the professional groups that deal with the front line against radicalization in schools feel that the action plan is an active document that provides good guidance? The method for this study is a text analysis of an action plan for the three municipalities Mariestad, Töreboda and Gullspång based on a larger study conducted by the Segerstedt Institute in 2017. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the essential concepts of religion, religious freedom and democracy. The analysis is supplemented with qualitative interviews with three informants – two teachers and an interpreter – who give their views on the practical works and its difficulties. The study’s conclusion shows that religious freedom is only affected in general terms. The action plan thus provides very limited guidance for the people who have to meet the demarcation. The purpose of the action plans is mainly security policy. It requires broader knowledge-building work throughout society to understand and respect religious freedom.
