Summary/Abstract: The European Union was formed and is developing, first of all, based on the integration of the multicultural concept into a prosperous territory destined to the nations that form this socio-state construction. The ultimate goal of the Union is to have a prosperous society that lives in peace and harmony, irrespective of the social origin of individuals, their religious or political orientation. With a history of extremely violent development and consolidation, today's Europe aspires to be a space of understanding and good living between its citizens, a space of tolerance and spiritual progress. The acceptance of Islamic populations in Europe is not a novelty, they migrated in a large number even in the 1950s, 1970s or even in 1980s. What is new at this moment can be found in their attitude towards the citizens of the host countries, who are mostly Christians. The fact that migrants, by mistaking European values, are challenging a society built on democracy and freedom, is an issue that has acquired other valences at the moment, namely, an offensive position of the Islamic population against social conduct in the host countries. In this article, we are proposing an approach centred on identifying the mechanisms which comply with certain channels of communication between the two populations, mechanisms that are absolutely necessary in order to continue the state of progress and good communion among the citizens of Europe.
