The article discusses the concept of genocide with the assistance of the concept of social death. Its central findings are the following: Genocide is an extreme form of social death. Intentional causing of social death is the central evil of genocide. Genocide is distinguished from mass killings by social death. The physical killing of the members of the target groups is not essential for genocide. There are more sophisticated forms of genocide by which the members of the target groups are not killed physically, but rather »only« particular ties, relationships and social structures which are of vital importance for the survival of target groups are destroyed. The article also explains which kinds of groups are targets of genocide, the claim that genocide is an ethically laden concept, and some of its implications. Thus it provides a comparative analysis of some phenomena closely connected with genocide: crime against humanity, totalitarianism, terrorism and ethnical cleansing. It likewise reflects upon the genocidal effects of military mass rapes. The nature of genocide is an important question. We need to sharpen our minds in order to be able to recognise genocide through providing an adequate definition of it, which has been appropriately tested. The latter is the central tenant of this article.

In Slovenia after World War II membership in the Islamic religion noticeably increased. At the end of the 1940s members numbered less than 1000, and at the beginning of the new millennium members reached almost 50,000. The majority of Muslims immigrated to Slovenia in the nineties. However, a study of the names of Muslim men found in Slovenian registers between 1980 and 1990 reveals that the largest number of men with typical Islamic names existed in the years between 1980 ad 1990. After these years, fewer and fewer people were registered with recognizable Islamic names. In the first decade of the new millennium Slovenian registers showed a negligible number of names identifiable as coming from Islamic culture. And yet, the number of Muslims in Slovenia has not diminished. This apparent contradiction can be explained by a thesis of integration regarding the proper names in the Muslim tradition. For newborns in Muslim families, parents choose names, which are not typical islamic names, in order that their children's names do not differ from the names of their peers who do not descend from the Muslim culture.
