Ztracena v Praze: postoje kolemjdoucích k osobě muslimského vyznání
Abstract
The current geopolitical situation in Europe raises the question of what attitudes towards Muslims are. This article deals with the attitudes of people in Prague to a foreign woman whose Muslim belief is obvious compared to a stranger, whose particular worldview cannot be determined. A total of one hundred people were approached. Fifty of them were addressed by a figurant serving as a Muslim woman, another fifty by the same figurant in the role of “ordinary” stranger. The responses of individuals were rated on a scale of one to five. The attitude of people to the figurant in the role of the Muslim woman did not differ statistically significantly from the attitude towards figurant in the role of foreigner (p = 0.124). Other aspects of this issue, such as the difference between the evaluation of Czechs and foreigners, are discussed.
