Muslimanske zajednice u Evropi u kontekstu problematike identiteta
Muslim communities in Europe in the context of the issue of identity

Summary/Abstract: It is a well known fact that Europe is traditionally an area of migration. However, migration has of late become highly topical, with ever stronger pull-factors from Western Europe and push-factors from the Mediterranean region providing it with a specific direction. There are observable attempts to engage in a different way with the growing communities of migrants and changes to classic “immigration patterns” in current European debate. Globalization has prompted a revival of the quest for ethnic roots, and it is clear that the deterritorialization of culture is something that has yet to be studied. For the Muslim population, a rapidly growing presence in the West, which is becoming the driving force of new relations within European society, such research is of major importance. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief analysis of contemporary migration flows in Europe, with particular emphasis on the problems of integration of Muslim immigrant communities into European society. The research itself is time-constrained, and adumbrates only the main visions of future relations between Muslim immigrant communities and European countries in the context of global integration processes.
