Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In liberal democratic countries, constitutional guarantees of religious freedom are meant to address the vulnerability of religious minorities, providing protection against majoritarian discrimination and a remedy for inequality. Examining the cases of Muslim minorities in Canada and India, however, reveals the mismatch between the foundations of religious freedom and the type of injustice that certain communities suffer. Religious freedom protections do not accurately capture the nature of the discrimination and inequality Muslims face in either country and do not point in the right direction for a solution. The ideals and motivations behind multiculturalism offer a better paradigm. Multicultural theory recognizes the inevitable privileging of majority beliefs, values, practices, traditions and symbols within democratic nations. Assuming an ideal of the nation as an inclusive plural polity, multiculturalists rightly argue for policies to ensure equal representation of diverse social identities, without singling out religion as a facet of culture needing special regulation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
