In 1881 (and again in 1913), when a Muslim minority was officially recognised and its legal status was regularised, millet-like internal institutions such as local community councils, minority schools, muftis and vakıfs were fitted into a minority protection framework. Today the legal status governing the Turkish/Muslim minority of Western Thrace has been preserved as an institutional fossil, as a hybrid ʺneo-milletʺ keeping millet-like minority rights in parallel to the nexus of rights that citizenship entails. However, this legal status of the minority often creates conflicts of legal norms, as it is the case with the enjoyment of linguistic rights on the basis of religious affiliation or the application of the Shari‛a. Which principle will prevail? Minority rights or fundamental human rights? Community affiliation or citizenship? Examining the legal status of Islam in Greece, one could draw useful lessons for the ongoing discussions on the place of Islam in Europe.

Complementary to this image of the national self, minority protection law on Muslims and Jews was and still is partially formed through millet-like paradigms. Greece's territorial expansion made all inhabitants of the annexed provinces Greek citizens en masse: in addition to those that were deemed eligible to belong to the Greek nation, Jewish and Muslim communities also acquired Greek citizenship. For these communities the self-autonomy of the Ottoman millet structure in education and religious matters was transformed into minority protection, through special rights (community schools, Moufti's jurisdiction, Muslim foundations, military conscription) attributable through religion to citizens of the state.
