Summary/Abstract: As the countries of Europe recovered from World War II, they again became attractive destinations for potential migrants and opened their doors to immigrants to help rebuild their economies. Very often immigrants were not able to take material richness from their homeland but they always took their ,,cultural richness’’ containing ways of behaving and communicating with each other, and also tradition, beliefs and religious cults. Their arrival in West Europe made that society not only multicultural but also multireligious. My article aims at analyzing the integration policy towards Muslim Minority in Sweden and its determinants to set wise precepts for political managment in other countries (including Poland). Integration policy, as a part of migration policy, is a great challenge for many countriues.
