"Curring" Erosion Of National Identity: Muslim Immigration As A Challenge To European Integration Policy[«Текучее» Размывание Национальной Идентичности: Мусульманская Иммиграция Как Вызов Европейской Политике Интеграции]

The article discusses specific features of the influence of the globalisation process and the migration movements from Muslim regions to the Western countries on the disintegration of the civil (political) community. This process has developed at the time of spiritual crisis and further disintegration of the European Community. With the advent of globalisation, increased racial, ethnic and religious identities have become even more important within the framework of political self-identification of individuals with a certain political community as a political nation. At the same time, the "We Discourse" of Muslim minorities in Europe becomes more intense in the identity space of European post-secular society. The Islamic people articulate this fact through their multiple identities. An integral component in the self-identification of Islamic intellectuals becomes their historical and cultural narrative, which often takes the form of an "identity battle". The national identity as considered by the democratic countries (no longer ethnically and culturally homogeneous) ceases to be a crucial resource for the development of the nation-state. It experiences the often negative pressure from external influences. This fact makes actual the need for "political actors" to pursue an identity policy that can strengthen the civil unity in society. It is obvious that the old European models of relationship construction between the population groups, which constitute historical majorities with the minority communities of Muslim identity are no longer effective. The lack of dialogue and socio-political integration of Muslim migrants into the "host community" can lead to even more serious civilisational alienation of foreign cultural and foreign religious elements.
