description Although many analyses of securitization focus on either speech acts and exceptional measures or bureaucratic practices, little research has been undertaken involving the logic of securitization. By shedding light on the impact of the securitization of Islam in France on the everyday experiences of French Muslims, this paper suggests that the securitization of Islam in France is not only an exception that calls for the adoption of emergency measures but also an everyday formation to define acceptable Muslims. Also, this article provides empirical evidence of securitization theory by illuminating how the securitization process is experienced by individuals. The findings show that analysis of the logic of securitization allows us to capture a more complete picture and understand how security practices are translated into everyday lives.
