European Muslims and the End of Life. Turkish and Moroccan Attitudes towards Suffering, Dying and Mourning in Antwerp, Belgium

This interdisciplinary study, combining the perspectives of religious studies and comparative ethics, studies the religious and ethical attitudes, beliefs and practices regarding death and dying of Muslims of Moroccan and Turkish descent living in Belgium. By doing so, this study will reveal whether in our contemporary postmodern, multicultural and globalised society there is a need for specific measures in elderly care, palliative care and with regard to burial regulations for Muslims.
