The thesis deals with the view of Slovenes on Islam and the position of the Islamic
community as a religious minority in Slovenia. In this diploma I devoted myself to analyzing
the public opinion of Slovenians on this subject. After the terrorist attack in New York in
2001, we are witnessing an increasing number of hate speech and a negative view of Islam,
which is often equated with terrorism, and the actions of an individual reflect the entire
religion. In Slovenia, the Islamic community has been present for so long, and has greatly
accommodated the Slovene way of living, that intolerance towards members of Islamic
religion is completely unnecessary. By quantitative research, I tried to determine whether
Muslims were more discriminated than non-Muslims, and what opinion on Islamic religion
in Slovenia predominates, positive or negative.
