Political Islam has become an increasingly important issue across Europe, shaping public debates about integration, security, democracy, and the future of the European way of life. Religious activism, transnational networks, and foreign influences do not only affect Muslim communities, but also broader questions of social cohesion and political stability. At the same time, concerns about polarization, radicalization, and violent extremism pose serious challenges for European societies and policymakers. This conference brings together scholars and experts to better understand these developments and their consequences. By examining ideas, community dynamics, and security risks together, it aims to provide a clearer picture of the challenges Europe faces and to encourage thoughtful, balanced responses that strengthen resilience, coexistence, and European values.
