This text analyzes the development of the cultural trend represented by the modern Islamic movements among Muslim immigrants in western Europe. The book examines the institutionalization and organization of Islam in western Europe and presents an investigation of the organization, activities, visions and strategies of the European Islamic movements, especially that of the most important Islamist trend among the Turkish minorities, Milli Gorus. The Islamistic stress on the validity of Islam as constituting the basis of particular social and cultural interest is analyzed in the perspective and light of the concepts of "life world" and "system world", presented by Jurgen Habermas. The investigation demonstrates the existence of locally organized communities, whose social and cultural interests are in need of representation. The book shows that Islamism constitutes a clear and concrete point of departure from a positive identification in the Muslim immigrant societies. This critical relevance of Islamism is discussed not least in the light of the social and economic marginalization characterizing the situtation of the immigrated Muslim minorities in western Europe.
