The current "minority crisis" in the Middle East can be considered an existential crisis as it tends to exclude hundreds of thousands of members of religious minorities from the public sphere and political life, while multidimensional violence force many of them to take refuge abroad. This chapter adopts a perspective of political sociology in order to shed light on the complex relation between the local political power which claims sovereignty and the exclusive use of "legitimate violence" - "the state" - on the one hand, and victimized and powerless religious communities, on the other hand.
