Summary/Abstract: The establishment of a united Europe was characterized by Christian-Democratic values. Over time, this trend has been challenged due to a growing presence of Muslim communities across Europe. In response to the new dynamics, various arguments focusing on Islam in the European Union, European identity and inclusion of the Muslims have emerged. Accordingly, this paper examines the presence of Islam in the EU and while taking into consideration both historical and present dimensions, points out various aspects that surely question their coexistence.
