Imigranci – spotkanie islamu z chrześcijaństwem w Europie
Immigrants - the Meeting of Islam and Christianity in Europe

Summary/Abstract: Due to immigrants, we currently witness a dynamic development of Islam in Europe. The existence of two religions in the same area, both regarded as true and universal, causes problems that are too hard to deal with for contemporary Europe and its culture. In this paper I explain why the Muslims who come to Europe not only decline any dialogue with Christians but straightforwardly contest the European law and customs. For this purpose I indicate the most important doctrinal differences between Islam and Christianity. They refer to the image of God and the vision of salvation. Muslims, who are convinced of the genuineness of their religion, make critical judgements about the social, political and cultural situation of contemporary Europe. For that reason, the majority of Muslims who come to Europe want to implement the Koranic law (the Sharia Law) in Europe and to enjoy it just like the cultures in Islamic countries which they have abandoned. And since they do not accept the European basic division into the sphere of religion and the sphere of politics, their actions which aim at disseminating Islam in Europe may take extreme forms just like, for instance, terrorist attacks.
