Christianity and Islam are both notably marked by expulsion of the o/Other and still today we are heirs of this expulsion. Contrary to how its generally perceived Enlightenment has not by itself improved this alienation of the other, still more - the Enlightenment defended the most conservative views when we come to speak about women and it had a very hostile attitude toward believers that have become just another other because they believed in the Other. That is why we can say that Christianity, Islam and Enlightenment are three machismos' that have forgot or denied their elementary o/Other. Today we can notice the resurgence of the question of the o/Other, but the question is if we will be able to overpass this tradition of expulsion as this tradition still defines us.

René Girard explains religion as a mechanism instituted to limit human conflicts and to prevent society from self-destruction of society. The basic assumption of his theory is that the man is a mimetic being. Imitation of others leads to competition, competition lead to rivalry, hatred and conflicts, and conflicts to vengeance, able to destroy the society. Circle of revenge is interrupted by the institution of scapegoat. This institution is fundamental institution of all pre-Christic cultures as confirmed by anthropological and ethnological research and expressed in the world classics in literature. The principle of the institution of scapegoat is victimary sacrifice. In order to avoid greater evil, community sacrifices victims who are indeed innocent. Victim sacrifices are basis of the symbolic order and thereby of social order. This enables society to survive, but such a survival is based on the violence and the power that powerful have over powerless, persecutors overs their victims. Pre-Christic societies are based on the lie which makes innocent victims guilty and responsible of the evil in the society. Victimary sacrifices returns reconciliation and order to the society.

The leading idea of the work Grounded heaven is that religions are rooted in culture and society, as its subtitle announces. It does not mean that they could be reduced to these, as they were without their own spirit and essence or that they could exist without being oriented to the Ultimate Reality that is beyond culture and society. Members of religions mostly emphasize and see just this Ultimate Reality, especially in a secular environment that aggressively denies it. In doing so, they are often unaware that expressions of their belief system are nonetheless grounded – i.e. culturally and socially/ideologically conditioned. This book drawls attention to this blank point of belief systems, primarily, though not exclusively, in the case of Catholicism.

The article serves as an introduction to the three separate administrative Islamic religious communities in Slovenia and the grounds for Islamic pluralism there. The cultural reasons answer the question why the majority of Muslims in Slovenia entered into the integration process with the intention to create the Slovenian Islamic identity. The distinction between the theological terms "iman" and "din" can be seen to highlight reasons for the strict following of the faith prescriptions of the Koran found in the Muslim minority in Slovenia. This discussion will not treat Islamic religious doctrine per se, but draw upon terms of Islamic terminology that provide common bonds among Bosnian Muslims in Slovenia
