Summary/Abstract: This chapter examines the triple-layered discrimination Roma Muslims face in Serbia, highlighting their marginalization based on ethnicity, race, and religion within both broader society and the Muslim community. Despite Islamic teachings advocating inclusivity, historical misinterpretations and entrenched prejudices contribute to their exclusion from key roles and community participation. The study calls for systemic reform within Serbia’s Muslim community and a global reexamination of practices to promote true inclusivity and address the challenges faced by Roma Muslims.
