The rapid development of the Islamic economy in Western Europe were discussed to explain the Islamic economy is a Muslim and Western societies the most important aspects of economic exchange.Chapterâ…¡, "the Muslim population in Western Europe and the integration" analysis of the demographic situation in the European society of a higher birth rate in the Muslim community and the future size of their population in Western Europe in the proportion of the population structure analysis and prediction of relations, discusses the British, France and Germany faced by Muslim integration policy environment, and their similarities and differences were compared.Chapter III "Women in Western European Muslim groups" are studied in English, French and German Muslim women groups. That Muslim women face in Western Europe from double discrimination, family and society, not only the traditional Muslim family tradition at the same time, because women are often in Western Europe because of their appearance (such as the Muslim headscarf, burqa) and to represent Muslim religious symbols can be seen, therefore, in many cases, Muslim women bear the brunt of the European social controversy and object of discrimination. At the same time, the social context in Europe, the Muslim women are now in a new way to showcase their style, as reflected in the emergence of social groups of women, growth and maturity, and the women in the political, economic, cultural and other fields increase in voice and so on.Chapter IV "Western Europe and its characteristics and impact of Muslim organizations," mainly discussed the organization of Muslims in Western Europe, including the British, French and German Muslim organizations comb and a detailed description of its main features, namely, because of race, language, ethnicity, geographical and other differences caused by differences and differences between the various organizations were summarized and analyzed, and the Western European Muslim organizations decentralized, diversified organizational form was the impact of dialectical analysis, that from the negative side, this characteristic morphology of the Muslim community's mobilization capacity, the positive side, this feature indirectly to burst out of a larger Muslim community vitality possible.Chapter V, "Muslims in Western Europe in the political process," mainly focused on Muslims in Western Europe's political arena and its characteristics and causes of the performance analysis of such issues. This chapter claims that the since the 1960's, Muslims in Western Europe has become the reality of social existence can not be ignored, but in terms of political participation, far from effective participation in Western Europe political process. Muslim population in race, economic status and other aspects of diversity is its inherent obstacles to effective political participation. Muslim civil rights, political elites, political participation channels for the possession of political resources, coupled with lack of psychological legacy of European colonial influence of the secularization of European policy, Islamophobia, the external impact of the Muslim world, constitute the many factors that affect the broad participation of Muslims in Western Europe important cause of political life, but the Muslim community in political decision-making efforts already have preliminary results.Chapterâ…¥, "the Muslim religion in Western Europe," the development of Islam in Western Europe, trends are analyzed, of Islam on Muslims living in non-Muslim territory of the relevant principles and provisions of the analysis, from the presentation of Islam in Western Europe the current situation of rapid development, come out of Islam in Western Europe, the problems faced, in addition, outside the Islamic world of Islam for the Western Europe the impact of such issues.Chapterâ…¦, "Extremism and Islamophobia" researches that Muslims in the history of the clash with Europe and the war as the main form of communication and the modern European colonial countries and Muslim countries, the relationship with the sovereign state for the Muslims in European societies caused a negative perception impact. Europe led to the horrors of Islamic extremism in Western Europe continued and strong focus, Islamic extremism, Islamic fundamentalism one is thinking of inheritance, on the other hand, and Muslims in Europe related to the overall socio-economic status, as unemployment, discrimination as a result of the weak position is an important factor in generating extremism can be said that right-wing forces in Europe and the Islamic fundamentalists of Islamic extremism, the two most important driving force for the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Islamic boost growth of extremist forces, Islam and extremism, terrorism is extremely confused wrong. In the evolution of Islamic extremism in Europe appear the so-called "Islamophobia", "Islamophobia" is fear or hatred of Islam, Muslims or Islamic culture, through the influence of the media agenda and arrangements for the formation of the Muslim understanding of the negative and the negative image. In Britain and France, the Muslim phobia have different background environment, forms and interactive practice.Chapterâ…§of "identity, culture exchanges and Muslims in Western Europe," proposed that Muslims in Europe in all areas of social life, permanent existence and continued growth in European countries, created a "European identity" to think and respond to this issue, the European nation-state the idea that by reflection, and Muslims began to seriously consider permanently living in Europe the impact of their identity. Although the "European Islam" and "Islamization of Europe" are just alarmist statements, but denied that either Western Europe or the Muslim community in the face of each other, they all consciously or unconsciously some degree of adaptation itself, the institutionalization of Islam in Europe and the personal, the emergence of female religious people are Muslims, and so the performance of self-adjustment. Both Muslims and qualified citizens of Europe, is the voice of European Muslims in the mainstream. Meanwhile, the Muslim to spare no effort to maintain its identity as a Muslim, through education and other ways to strengthen their Muslim identity. Groups of young Muslims in Europe, there has been significant to their parents and grandparents intergenerational differences, their identity were divided, part of the social and economic good, to better integrate into the European mainstream society groups, the other part is subject to low levels of education, socioeconomic status, the group is not high, they having been excluded and feel isolated and continue to strengthen their Islamic identity, alienated the mainstream of European identity.At the same time, this chapter proposed the substance of European Muslim is not a purely religious issue, not simply a cultural issue, but with the economic, social and cultural nature of the integrated problem. But, after all, Muslims living in Europe permanently, or a relatively new subject, the Muslim minority in the European community is a long established the beginning of social relations, in the face of many difficulties, among Muslims in Europe and the European Social produced by a variety of ways to respond, the European community should abandon prejudice against Muslims, the attitude of discrimination and hostility from the socio-economic, policy and legal levels, and effectively take an active integration policy, closed out the Muslim community should actively take the initiative to explore their own unique identity, while preserving the Islamic features and integrate into European society. And never view, Islam will be deeper rooted in the European community, which in the political, economic and culture at all levels, on the whole of Western Europe and the international community have a more profound impact.
