THE IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION: EXPLORING CHALLENGES OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN EUROPE AND THEIR IDENTITIES IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES

Abstract

Religious facilitation in immigrant integration will require that both immigrants and natives be in a neutral position whereby they will both accept adjustments to their normal religious routines. This prospect seems a solace to immigrants more than natives since with immigrants the change of their routines is something they can quickly harmonize with by the fact that they are away from their homeland. In this study, I explore the challenges faced by religious minorities in Europe and the impact of these challenges on their identities in their home countries. The study will examine the experiences of religious minority groups in European society and how their treatment by society and government affects their sense of self and connection to their home country. Additionally, this study will investigate the role of religion in shaping the identities of minority individuals and communities. The findings of this study will provide insight into the complex relationship between religion, identity, and belonging for minority groups in Europe and contribute to the larger conversation on diversity and inclusion in the region.  Article visualizations:
