The time we live in is a time of change and transformation. Two different worlds are clashing in Europe and that encounter gives both sides the chance to change their point of view and expand their thinking.

Beliefs, ideas and common values are part of the shared identity of European Muslims nowadays. They are a chance to connect, to grow together and learn from one another.
