Summary/Abstract: During the last years, due to constant wars and civil strife in many countries, a large number of people have left their nations. They have moved towards and settled down in other nations of Europe or U.S.A. According to UN’s International Migration Report 2017, international migration reached about 258 million people, out of which 60 percent reside in Asia (80 million), Europe (78 million) and Northern America (58 million). As per the report of PEW Forum, about 27 percent Muslims (60 million) migrated from their home to live in other countries. The migration of such a large number of people and their settlement in other countries raise many questions related to the culture of the migrated people and culture of the host nations. Would the migrated people abandon their culture and adopt the culture of the host nation or would they form a zone of their own culture in the host nation? The present paper has studied the migration of the Muslims in Europe and U.S.A. and discusses it in the context of this question. The present paper is important in order to understand the pros and cons of the migration process of Muslims in Europe and U.S.A. This would help in unfolding a complex relation between Europe, U.S.A. and the Muslim world on the other hand, which could help in promoting world peace and protecting human rights.
