| Description |
Mosques represent an important element of Muslim identity. This identity may be social, political, personal, etc., and depends on language they speak, attitudes they have, place where they live in, and activities they enjoy to do. In this regard, mosques manifest gender, ethnic, social class, religion, and culture dimensions of Muslim identity. As a place of community of memory mosques play the memory-preserving function for Muslim generations and retain Muslim identity. European mosques combine the traditions of the worshippers with those of their new environment. Thus, Muslims’ attachment to Europe grows and they start to identify themselves with their places in Europe. During this transaction between the two, not only Muslims change under the current European tendencies, but Europe also changes by Muslims’ identities. This becomes more evident in increasing number of mosques in EU and the debate about its place in EU life.
