Abstract
Since the 1950s the Muslim element within the worker migration to western Europe has grown from almost nothing to over 6 million. There are now more ‘new’ Muslims in Europe than in the indigenous groups of non‐CIS Europe. The situations differ very substantially between the main western European countries in terms of origins and the degree of integration of the groups concerned. The article presents an overview of the current position dealing particularly with the numbers in different countries.Keywords
