Abstract
As elsewhere in Europe, in modern Switzerland there are certainly many ways for the Muslim to both practice his faith (highly practicing Muslim, practicing Muslim, Secular Muslim, cultural Muslim, do not care about Islamic Values at all) and to participate in the host society, ranging from the northern European democracies that encourage the co-existence of identities to the project of the French Republic aiming to develop each individual in a union of differences. There still remains an urgent question: since it seems that they are not going to leave, do they have to adapt, and if so, how can they do this? Indeed, are they already doing so? This paper examines whether or not the prism of citizenship could be a useful tool with which to discuss new Muslim identity in the Swiss context.
