Будућност људских права - основне тековине Европске уније на раскршћу између хришћанства и исламизма
The future of human rights: fundamental tenets of the EU at the crossroads between Christianity and Islam

Summary/Abstract: The European Union is the preferred immigration destination of many international migrants. The promotion of democratic values, human rights and freedoms, tolerance, and multiculturalism increases the waves of immigration to Europe. At the same time, economic motives represent another driver of this process. Over time, the immigration policies of the European Union have changed in accordance with current international, regional, and local developments. Therefore, in certain periods, they were more liberal or more restrictive in nature. However, only after the terrorist attacks that occurred at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, as well as the migrant crisis that Europe was faced with in 2015 and 2016, was there a noticeable trend of increasing fear of Islamism among the European population. These events resulted in the strengthening of right-wing political currents in certain member states of the European Union, which base their rhetoric on populism, which contributes to the growth of xenophobia in European society. The population of the Islamic religion still represents the dominant population of Europe today. The problem of the integration of Muslims into European society is present, as is the possibility of jeopardising European culture and European values. Accordingly, the paper examines culture as a dividing line between Christian and Muslim populations in the European Union.
