Preferred term

Muslims in Europe  

Definition

  • An estimated 13 to 15 million Muslims are living in Europe today (not counting those living in the Russian Federation and the Balkan states). This number is difficult to determine more precisely because of illegal immigration and the lack of census data regarding a person's religious background; also, leaders of pro-and anti-Muslim causes inflate the numbers to advance their agendas.
