Summary/Abstract: Actual historical time witnesses acute humanitarian crises taking place in the Middle East and North Africa region particularly inhabited by Muslim Arab population. These crises have led to the exodus of the Muslim population not only in countries in the immediate neighbourhood, but also in Europe. Thus, now, European states have reached to face a real immigration crisis triggered by various reasons subsequent to demographic phenomena. One of the major consequences of Muslim immigration, in addition to the rise of Islamist terrorism in the European territory, we consider to be the radicalization trend, both of indigenous peoples and of Muslim immigrants, leading to impaired rule of European law.In the present paper, we want to present some coordinates, prerequisites and present and future consequences of radicalization perpetuating at the cost of European democratic values, such as unity in diversity.
