Abstract: This article examines Muslim interpretations in the mass media public discourses in German-speaking Switzerland. It focuses on the period from the moment of the adoption of the initiative against the construction of minarets untill mid-2017. On the basis of a discourse analysis four fields of positions are presented. It can be shown that there is a considerable variety of inter-Muslim interpretations. Those positions with the highest reception are characterized by an intolerance of ambiguity and an incorporation of hegemonial interpretative patterns.
Due to two distinct historical features – a strong state and rigid laicism – the Turkish welfare state used to be strongly fragmented, hierarchical and corporatist. As such, it assigned a central role to the social institution of the family. With Turkey’s increasing integration into the global economy in the 1980s, new forms of poverty developed, and the welfare state’s funding came increasingly under pressure. As a result, the ruling AKP (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi) initiated a number of social policy reforms. These can be understood as an expression of the AKP’s free market policies and islamic-conservative ideology. Through the AKP’s promotion of private social welfare that is independent of market economy, state or kin, the Turkish welfare state today resembles what is sometimes called a Muslim welfare regime.
