- Abstract
In the last years, there have been several conflicts in different Spanish cities, regarding to the building of mosques and oratories to practise the Muslim cult. This paper analyses one of the most intensive conflicts, the one that took place in 2004 in the neighbourhood of Singuerlín in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, when the Muslim community tried to open an oratory. Here we study its roots, its evolution and the role that intercultural mediation played in its management. On the basis of in-depth interviews with its main actors, which we carried out several years later, we analyse the structural elements of the conflict and reflect on the way in which the integration of immigrant people has been constructed in Spain and the role that public policies should play in the prevention and management of the conflicts arising from cultural and religious diversity.
