Summary/Abstract: In the first part of this essay we present a shorter review of a number of contemporary discourses regarding Islam in Europe. We here offer an image within a framework of a conglomerate of various, often contrasting, opinions about Islam in Europe, ranging from Islam presented as “in clash”, Islam that is “opposite” to what is plural and humanistic concept of European societies to Islam that is formulated as a “tribal” within Muslim discourse. In the second part of the essay we dealt with major priorities within one possible project of “a reform of the Muslim discourse” about Islam in Europe. Islam as a faith, as a spirituality, as a culture, as a heritage, as a bonding force of multiple ideas....are only some tracks wherein we find main prospective of constructive discourses about Islam in Europe. These would be in the focus of the main part of the essay. In the final part of the essay we offer few practical guidelines as a plan for developing Muslim discourse about Islam in Europe. We hope that these guidelines could be of benefit in addressing a variety of problems within the Muslim discourse about Islam in Europe.
