Answer 2

The Muslim population in Europe is extremely diverse with varied histories and origins. Eastern Europe and the Balkans - notably Russia, Bulgaria, Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia, Montenegro, Cyprus, Greece, and Macedonia - harbour most of Europe's Muslim population. They consist predominantly of indigenous Europeans of the Muslim faith whose religious tradition dates back several hundred years. Albania and Kosovo, for example, are both Muslim majority countries, while Bosnia consists of a Muslim plurality, and in the rest Muslims form sizable minorities. The transcontinental countries of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan also are Muslim majority.

On the other hand, Western Europe's Muslim population is composed largely of peoples not indigenous to the European continent, principally the result of new immigrants (or their immediate descendants) which began arriving significantly only from the 1960s onward. This is especially the case in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, where Islam now represents the largest minority religion.

Currently, the European countries with a Muslim majority in Europe are Albania and Kosovo. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimated that in Albania 70% of Albanians are Muslim, 91% in Kosovo, and 99% of the ethnic Albanians in Macedonia. Bosnia has a Muslim plurality. In transcontinental countries Turkey , Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan , 99% , 96% and 70% is Muslim respectively also Muslims are forming one third of the population of the Republic of Macedonia and about one fifth of the population of montenegro

The Sanjak region, which is divided between Serbia and Montenegro, as well as Bulgaria and Macedonia have a Muslim minority.

Some European cities, such as Marseille in France and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, have Muslim populations of 25%. The city of Malmö, in Sweden has a Muslim population of 15%, just like the capital of Norway, Oslo. In others, like Paris, Brussels, London and Copenhagen, Denmark, the figure is 10%.[8][9] Moscow is home to an estimated 1.5 million (10%) Muslims.[10]

Immigrants have come to Europe from across the Muslim world, with different nationalities focusing on different countries. The United Kingdom has a high percentage of Muslims from the Indian sub-continent; France has many Muslims from its former colonies in North Africa; Belgium and the Netherlands have Muslims mostly from Morocco and Turkey; Germany has a large Turkish and Kurdish Muslim population; Norway has a large Pakistani and Somali population and Sweden has many Iraqi immigrants.

Today, the only remaining majority-Muslim regions in Europe are Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, and some Russian republics in Northern Caucasus and the Volga region. The Muslim-dominated Sandžak of Novi Pazar is divided between Serbia and Montenegro.

According to the German Central Institute Islam Archive, the total number of Muslims in Europe in 2007 was about 53 million and in the European Union about 16 million
