| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article analyses the social and cultural dislocation that Muslim communities are currently experiencing in contemporary European society against the background of an increasingly vague and ill-defined European socio-cultural identity. The principal objective is to assess whether this dislocation should be interpreted as a problem pertaining to Islam or to what extent it mirrors and is fuelled by Europe's own cultural dilemma. As such, the article examines the current socio-cultural impasse that overshadows much of the relationship between Muslim communities and Europe in order to assess the implications of this major internal challenge to the future of the European project |
