German-speaking Salafis in Switzerland: Sketching contemporary spectra and analyzing moral negotiations

该项目旨在描绘瑞士德语区的当代萨尔科齐光谱。此外，日常生活中的道德谈判和普通道德将被观察到，以解释属于某些群体的萨拉菲派如何倾向于争论和行动。以前对瑞士德语地区萨拉菲主义的研究强调了安全问题，并依赖于外部的萨拉菲主义者类别，而通常侧重于暴力圣战主义。这没有认识到圣战分子和非圣战分子之间模糊的界限。此外，它并没有提供更深入的理解主位分类，群体相互关系，推理和行动模式内萨拉菲主义spectrum.This项目提出了一个新的视角在瑞士萨拉菲主义，认为萨拉菲主义的信仰和行动的关键要素变得特别全面，当涉及到日常情况的道德评价，并遵循决定或行动。这项研究将揭示- 在萨拉菲派的日常生活中，哪些道德评价是基于哪些推理模式触发的，以及这些评价的结果（决定，行动等）; 根据宗教的关键概念（或非宗教原因），他们解释他们的行为; 处理所谓的道德要求的情况的模式如何与他们感觉接近的Salmony群体联系在一起; 不同的光谱如何在解释宗教的关键概念，以生活在一个所谓的良好和“道德”的方式。从文化人类学的方法是一个有效的工具，了解主位推理属于（或远离）某些萨尔科齐光谱;主位观念的道德挑战;也由此产生的行动策略。因此，参与式观察和叙事探索式访谈是本研究的核心。 通过使用道德人类学提供的分析工具，将解释萨拉菲派的决策、（反应）行动模式和团结。该项目的预期成果是对瑞士当代讲德语的萨拉菲派的过程草图。此外，本研究将解释萨拉菲派之间的具体评价模式，导致特定的（反应）行动和论证风格。因此，它提供了基本的信息，为Salmonella的研究，并奠定了基础，为后续研究。此外，上述见解可以帮助以更详细的方式识别和评估潜在的安全敏感人员。因此，研究结果与人类学家、宗教和伊斯兰研究学者、政治学家、恐怖主义和极端主义研究、国家政治和感兴趣的公众成员有关。

The project intends to sketch contemporary Salafi spectra in German-speaking Switzerland. Additionally, moral negotiations and ordinary ethics in everyday life will be observed to explain how Salafis belonging to certain groups tend to argue and act. Former studies on Salafism in German-speaking regions in Switzerland highlighted security issues and relied on external categories of Salafi persons, while usually focusing on violent jihadism. This fails to recognize the blurry demarcation lines between jihadis and non-jihadis. Furthermore, it does not provide a deeper understanding of emic categorizations, group interrelations, reasoning and action patterns within Salafi spectra.This project proposes a new perspective on Salafism in Switzerland, arguing that crucial elements of Salafi belief and action become particularly comprehensive when it comes to moral evaluations of everyday situations, and following decisions or actions. The study will reveal- which moral evaluations are triggered in everyday lives of Salafis based on which reasoning patterns, and what these evaluations result in (decisions, actions, etc);- based on which religious key concepts (or non-religious reasons) they explain their behavior;- how patterns in dealing with supposedly morally demanding situations are connected to the Salafi group they feel close to;- how different spectra vary in interpreting religious key concepts in order to live in a supposedly good and ‘moral’ manner.Approaches from cultural anthropology are an effective tool for understanding emic reasoning about belonging to (or staying away from) certain Salafi spectra; emic perceptions of moral challenges; and also the resulting action strategies. Therefore, participant observation and narrative-explorative interviews lie at the heart of this study. Decision-making, (re)action patterns and solidarities among Salafis will be explained by using analytical tools that moral anthropology provides.The intended outcome of the project is a processual sketch of the contemporary German-speaking salafiyya in Switzerland. As well, the study will explain specific evaluation patterns among Salafis, leading to particular (re)actions and argumentation styles. Therefore, it provides basic information for Salafi studies in general, and lays ground for follow-up studies. Furthermore, the mentioned insights can help to identify and evaluate potentially security-sensitive persons in a more elaborated manner. Thus, the results are relevant for anthropologists, scholars of religious and Islamic studies, political scientists, terrorism and extremism studies, national politics, and interested members of the general public.
