This paper focuses on a chronology of events presented by the Romanian media,especially newspapers with national coverage and impact like Gândul and Adevărul,between the first week of June to the first week of September 2015, when the issue ofhaving a mosque erected in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, was intensely debatedby intellectuals, politicians, and religious professionals. The debates were intensely heatedfrom the onset of these events and most of them revealed that most of the participants weredriven by anti-Muslim attitudes, xenophobia, and assertive nationalism, a complex offeelings that I called “negative ecodomy”. The concept of “negative ecodomy”presupposes an attempt to built a safe environment, in this case for Romanians in their owncountry, but the adjective “negative” was added to the the positive idea of “ecodomy”because these efforts to offer a safe context for Romanians were accompanied by thenegativity of anti-Muslim, xenophobic, and nationalistic activities. This array of negativeecodomic attitudes were displayed by Romanians not only in online media but also in thestreet through protests and other similar actions in a country which has been a member ofthe European Union for almost a decade and was supposed to adhere to the European Union’s basic principles of multiculturalism and the free circulation of persons. Thetotality of these events show that Romanians are still rather far from accepting theEuropean Union’s fundamental philosophy or perhaps these principles themselves shouldbe reconsidered and reinterpreted in the context of the massive Middle Eastern and Africanimmigration and the constant, if not increasing threat of Islamic terrorism.This article is part of a two-year postdoctoral research program (2015–2017) at the Faculty ofTheology, the Department of Dogmatics and Christian Ethics, University of Pretoria, under thesupervision of Johan Buitendag.www.mdpi.com/journal/religionsam2016Dogmatics and Christian Ethic
