The goal of the article consists in understanding Islam as a lifestyle in Europe. The lifestyle is understood through creation and introduction of religious differences and determines the perception of Islam as different from the European values.

The conclusion is made that the difficulty of integrating the Muslims into the European community consists in substitution of social issues for ethnocultural and ethnoreligious variety.
