| 520 | |a This article analyses how the growth of the Muslim population due to migration has changed the religious and political landscape in Europe while also fueling an increase in Islamophobia discourse in the public sphere. Through a qualitative approach based on literature studies and critical discourse analysis, this study examines political narratives, state policies, and media representations of Islam and the Muslim community. Secondary data was collected from international agency reports, scientific journal articles, policy documents, political speeches and mainstream media coverage in several European countries. The study found that rhetoric that stigmatises Muslims as "the other" has been used as a tool for electoral mobilisation by right-wing populist parties, as well as influencing increasingly exclusive immigration and secularism policies. The findings also show that Muslim communities face structural challenges in social, economic, and cultural integration due to stereotypes and systemic discrimination. In the face of this condition, this article recommends formulating more inclusive and human rights-oriented policies, such as increasing Muslim representation, strengthening regulations on hate speech, and education reforms to build diversity literacy. Thus, this study contributes to the academic discourse on the relationship between religion, migration, and politics in contemporary Europe. | ||
