description In Algeria, Islam is a State religion, inherent to its ideology and political system. The constitutional laws regulate religious practice, and Algerian society is “specifically denominational”. But it so happens that the conversion of Algerians to the Christian faith is also part of this reality. These conversions, whose number seems to have been increasing, are perceived as an offence against national consensus and coherence of the State. All the more so that there is a juridical gap in Algeria when it comes to non-Islamic denominations. How far can an official religion go to fill that gap? How do its representatives try to answer to the practical contradictions between a supposedly secular law and the effects and consequences stemming from Muslim jurisprudence (fiqh)?
