European Islam

German-Syrian Bassam Tibi is considered the original coiner of the term "Euro-Islam", which he used for the first time in his 1992 paper Les conditions d'une "Euro-Islam", published in 1995, to describe a type of Islam that embraces Western political values, such as liberal democracy, religious pluralism, secularism, tolerance, and the separation between religion and state.{{Cite web|url=https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/cfr/international/slot1_071405.html|title = Q&A: Islam and Europe – New York Times}} He argues that Muslims in Europe must create a specific form of Islam that can coexist with European values.{{cite book |last=Tibi |first=Bassam |author-link=Bassam Tibi |year=2010 |chapter=Euro-Islam: An Alternative to Islamization and Ethnicity of Fear |editor-last=Baran |editor-first=Zeyno |title=The Other Muslims: Moderate and Secular |location=New York City |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |pages=157–174 |doi=10.1057/9780230106031_10 |isbn=978-0-230-62188-6 |s2cid=148008368}} The term reflects a concept for the integration of Muslims as European citizens, often assuming a liberal and progressive interpretation based on the idea of Europeanizing Islam. Tibi dissociates himself from the Islamists, who reject Euro-Islam; he estimates that they amount to 3–5% of the Muslims currently living in Europe. He says they are nevertheless a dangerous minority since they want to "hijack" the Muslim community and other values of civil society. More precisely, Tibi seeks to dissociate his reasoning on Euro-Islam from that of Tariq Ramadan, whom he considers a rival within Islam in Europe.

Tibi speaks of the need of Muslims to become "European citizens of the heart".See Tibi's article "A Migration Story: From Muslim Immigrants to European "Citizens of the Heart?"" in: The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs Vol.31 (Winter 2007) 1: 191–210. Tibi insists that Euro-Islam means secularity, the acceptance of separation between religion and state, as well as that Muslims living in Europe should embrace European values. As contrast he sees the ghettoization of the Muslims with potential for conflict. Therefore, Euro-Islam is for Tibi a way out from the issue of the ethnicization of Muslim migration in Europe and a democratic alternative to the so-called "ethnicity of fear".On the ethnicization of Islam in Europe see Tibi's chapter in Roland Hsu (Ed.), Ethnic Europe: Mobility, Identity, and Conflict in a Globalized World, Stanford University Press, 2010, pp. 127–156; also Bassam Tibi, "Ethnicity of Fear? Islamic Migration and the Ethnicization of Islam in Europe," in: Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, Vol. 11, No. 1, 2010, pp. 126–157. Despite his efforts for the establishment of European Islam, after 25 years of leadership towards promoting it as a driving force of reform among Muslims living in Europe, Bassam Tibi in 2016 announced "I capitulate" in the German political magazine Cicero, stating that the "headscarf Islam" has triumphed over the "Euro-Islam".{{cite magazine |author= |date=26 May 2016 |title=Islamologe Bassam Tibi: "Ich kapituliere" |url=https://www.cicero.de/kultur/islamologe-bassam-tibi-ich-kapituliere |magazine=Cicero |location=Berlin |language=de |issn=1613-4826 |access-date=21 January 2021 |quote=Der Islamologe und gebürtige Syrer Bassam Tibi sieht keine Chancen mehr für einen europäischen Islam. Im Magazin Cicero (Juni-Ausgabe) schreibt er, dass der „Kopftuch-Islam" über den „Euro-Islam" gesiegt habe: „Den Euro-Islam wird es nicht geben. Ich kapituliere." Sein Essay ist der erste Teil einer neuen Cicero-Serie mit dem Titel: „Gehört der Islam zu Deutschland?"}}

Tariq Ramadan is erroneously considered to be one of the coiners of the term "European Islam". Ramadan calls for creating a new European-Muslim identity in his book To Be a European Muslim (1999).The origin of the term predates Ramadan's book. Bassam Tibi coined the term in his 1992 paper Les conditions d'une "Euro-Islam", published in {{cite book |editor1-last=Bistolfi |editor1-first=Robert |editor2-last=Zabbal |editor2-first=François |year=1995 |title=Islams d'Europe: Intégration ou Insertion Communautaire? |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=So1YDwAAQBAJ |language=fr |location=Paris |publisher=Éditions de l'Aube |pages=230–234 |isbn=978-2876782013}} He demands participation of Muslims in social and cultural life in conformation with European culture and Muslim ethics and says Muslims should disassociate themselves from Saudi Arabia{{cite web|first=Tariq |last=Ramadan|author-link=Tariq Ramadan|url= http://mondediplo.com/2000/06/12muslim |title=Who speaks for Europe's Muslims?|date= June 2000|publisher=mondediplo.com}} and Islamic terrorism. He also thinks that European Muslims "need to separate Islamic principles from their cultures of origin and anchor them in the cultural reality of Western Europe."N. Le Quesne, "Trying to Bridge A Great Divide" in Time However, Ramadan says that "Europeans also must start considering Islam as a European religion."

Maria Luisa Maniscalco, professor of Sociology at the University of Roma Tre, in her book "European Islam. Sociology of an encounter", considers that in a process of "Europeanisation" of Muslims and "Islamization" of Europe directions of change are diverse.Maria Luisa Maniscalco, Islam Europeo. Sociologia di un incontro, Milano, FrancoAngeli, 2014. While family law, the status of women, religious freedom, social justice and criminal laws are still areas of high controversy within Islam, in Europe and elsewhere, and in comparison with European societies, attempts to Islamize modernity performed in European territory and in dialogue with Europe express creativity and innovation capacity. According to Maniscalco, when different segments of the Muslim world in Europe will propose themselves and will act as "active minorities", being able to take leadership and provide new impetus towards a dynamic and positive meeting, this will be significant for the future of Europe.{{cite web|first=Francesco |last=Antonelli|title= La fede trovata nella cittadinanza in Il Manifesto, 20 febbraio 2015|date=19 February 2015|url=http://ilmanifesto.info/la-fede-trovata-nella-cittadinanza/|publisher=ilmanifesto.info}}

Xavier Bougarel, research fellow at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique in the Ottoman and Turkish Studies unit, thinks that Balkan Muslims are playing an important role in the evolution of Islam in Europe towards a European Islam. With the possible EU enlargement towards the Balkans, about eight million Muslims would become EU citizens, doubling the number of Muslims in the EU-27 bloc.{{Cite web |url=http://www.epc.eu/en/er.asp?AI=559&LV=293&PG=ER%2FEN%2Fdetail&TYP=ER&see=y&t=2 |title=European Policy Centre Website |access-date=13 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929204709/http://www.epc.eu/en/er.asp?AI=559&LV=293&PG=ER%2FEN%2Fdetail&TYP=ER&see=y&t=2 |archive-date=29 September 2007 |url-status=dead }} Bougarel explores Balkan Islam which is often called "European Islam" because it resulted from indigenous and largely secularized in opposition to "a non-European Islam" that embody not only the predominantly Muslim countries but also the Muslim populations newly settled in Western Europe. Xavier Bougarel proposes to replace these culturalist visions by an accurate comparison taking into account the nuances of the realities of Islam in Western Europe and in the Balkans.Xavier Bougarel, Balkans.

Jocelyne Cesari, Professor of Religion and Politics and Director of Research at Edward Cadbury Centre at University of Birmingham, as well as President of European Academy of Religion,{{Cite web|url=https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/tr/cesari-jocelyne.aspx|title=Professor Jocelyne Cesari – Department of Theology and Religion – University of Birmingham|website=www.birmingham.ac.uk|language=en-gb|access-date=3 March 2019}} says that while Islam is perceived as colliding with European secular values "Islam is simply a religion."{{cite web|url=http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/751/fo2.htm|title=Enemy within|publisher= Al Ahram Weekly|year=2005|access-date=11 July 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070709074504/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/751/fo2.htm|archive-date=9 July 2007|url-status=dead}} According to Cesari, Muslims need to reveal the "genuine tolerant face of Islam, to show its diversity and reveal to the world that an intellectual such as Muhammad Abduh is the best example for a modern thinker."

Cesari talks of the secularization of individual Islamic practices and of Islamic institutions, as well as the efforts Muslims are making to maintain the relevancy of Islamic legal systems and what she calls the "gender jihad".{{cite book|isbn=1403971463|title= When Islam and Democracy Meet: Muslims in Europe and in the United States |first=J. |last=Cesari|date= 21 February 2006 |publisher= Palgrave Macmillan US }} She thinks that Islam should be merged into European culture and that Islamic culture should be added to Europe's educational curricula. She has also held post as research associate at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University and director of Islamopedia Online.

Jørgen S. Nielsen, professor of Islamic studies at the University of Copenhagen, says that "Europeanizing" Islam "requires changes in relations between the sexes, in relations between parents and children, significant changes in attitudes to people of other religions, and in attitudes toward the State."Peter Ford, "[http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0224/p10s01-woeu.html Europe's rising class of believers: Muslims]", The Christian Science Monitor, 24 February 2005 Nielsen believes that this is happening. While only a minority of Muslims is assimilating completely with secular European culture, "the majority are sticking to their religion but divorcing it from the cultural tradition and redressing it in a new culture." Nielsen also argues that the emergence of a European Islam is not only linked to the Muslim communities in Europe, but also to structures inherited from European society and the State.{{cite book |last=Nielsen |first=Jørgen S. |author-link=Jørgen S. Nielsen |year=1999 |title=Towards a European Islam |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pSiGDAAAQBAJ |location=Basingstoke |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |series=Migration, Minorities, and Citizenship |doi=10.1057/9780230379626 |isbn=978-0-333-72374-6}}

Robert S. Leiken says that both the multiculturalism and assimilation methods failed and that an integration policy still needs to be developed, something which will not happen overnight.

Following the failed car bomb attacks in London and the failed Glasgow airport attack in June 2007, the European Commission started pooling ideas on how to tackle radical Islam and create a "European Islam", i.e. an Islam which is a more tolerant "European" branch of the faith.Renata Goldirova, "[http://euobserver.com/9/24436 Brussels questions EU capitals over approach to Islam]" in the EUobserver, 6 July 2007 EU home affairs commissioner Franco Frattini also sent out an 18-question survey asking EU member states how they address violent radicalisation, mainly related to an abusive interpretation of Islam.{{clarify|date=January 2016}} In addition, Mr Frattini wants to pursue and further the idea of establishing a so-called "European Islam" or "Islam de l'Europe" – something floated by France's then interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy in 2006.
