Summary/Abstract: Integration of Islam and Muslim into wider social community is Europe’s daily issue. Such issues are often over simplified and confined to political discourse. In this article we present some understandings of the role of religious communities in liberal societies. Furthermore, we discuss the issue of autonomy in interpreting of faith as well as in higher education. We also bring up here the problem of absence of the “moral” centre of the Muslim world as the result of which the majority of Muslims in Europe turn towards their ethnic or national centers for all the issues related to interpretation of Islam. Finally, we elaborate upon the issue of higher Islamic education in Europe and efforts to interpret of Islam without its theological and ethical components.
