Abstract
AbstractSince 2011, over 3.7 million Syrians have sought and received protection in Turkey, placing it among the countries hosting the largest number of refugees in the world. Based on in-depth interviews, I explore how religion and religious freedom are present in rhetoric employed in discussions surrounding Syrian refugees’ presence in the country and their status there. Furthermore, I focus on refugees’ own experiences, expectations, and imaginaries, and the role religion and religious tolerance play in them. I also analyze how the theme of religion is established as an axis around which belonging and otherness are constructed and what role it plays in the process of integration. This essay is grounded in interviews carried out in Istanbul and Gaziantep with Syrian refugees and representatives of civil society organizations supporting them.
