Summary/Abstract: The immigration pressure that is exercised on Europe - the prevalent component of immigration being Islamic – generates problems in the social sphere, in education, interreligious relations and security. The trends related to the increasing numbers of immigrants are the following: Inability to integrate into Western societies and ghettoization of those who are “different”; The formation of separate societies in parallel with the main ones and a growing number of so-called “sensitive zones”;The decreasing attractiveness of the so-called multi-cultural model; Radicalization of Muslims; Construction of identity markers.
