Islam in Western Europe Socio-historical overview and models of "integration"

Main Article Content

José Luis Sánchez Nogales

Abstract

This article starts unfolding a brief outline of the history of the relations between Islam and Europe from four geographical view points and four ages: Spain (VIII century), Central Europe (XIV c.), North Europe (XIII c.) and the actual Islamic immigration to western Europe. This last phase of relations is analyzed more deeply in its social and religious dimensions. After an analysis of the two identifiable models of  “reception” of the Islamic population in western Europe: the communitarist and the assimilationist, the author ends up pointing the need to check such models in order to obtain an orderly and balanced  reception, which realizes the articulation with the self-questioned European identity
