چکیده:
Anti-minority prejudice is a general anomalous phenomenon in Europe. Several empirical studies have shown that anti-Muslim discrimination is more serious and profound. The Muslim community is the most important minority in Europe. The question is whether racism is the reason for the social discrimination against Muslims in Europe. In this paper, to explain the areas of discrimination it is divided into: "underlying reasons" and "driving reasons". Anti-Muslim discrimination in Europe is a result of the background of various forms of racism in Europe (as a precedent cultural background) and is the effect of political opportunism (as a new phenomenon). Discrimination required certain objective conditions of existence to be in place. Political opportunism is the stimulus of anti- Muslim discrimination. The political and economic interest of some political groups in Western culture, led to anti-Muslim discrimination in Europe.

Anti-Muslim discrimination in Europe is a result of the background of various forms of racism in Europe (as a precedent cultural background) and is the effect of political opportunism (as a new phenomenon).
Various forms of racism in the history and culture of Europe have long and deep roots underlying the current social discrimination against Muslims.
In this paper, using the different forms of racism, we will study the relation between this approach and the social and anti-Muslim discrimination in Europe.
The hypothesis of the article is that the different approach of European racism as a catalyst is an opportunistic characteristic of Western Islamophobic politics which drives social discrimination against Muslims in Europe.
Anti-Muslim discrimination in Europe is a result of the background of racism in Europe (as a precedent cultural background) and is the effect of political opportunism (as a new phenomenon).
The Muslim community is the biggest religious minority in Western Europe and issues such as continuing Muslim migration to Europe, the high birth rate among Muslims and an increase in Islamic values among Muslims give an important position to the question of "European Muslims".
Although a few years ago in Europe academic research and research papers addressing the issue of racial discrimination and religious discrimination were rarely seen (Sheridan 2006: 318), today many studies introduce social discrimination against European Muslims as "racism against Islam" or "anti-Muslim racism".
In the report of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia on the status of Muslims in the EU it is written: "Discrimination and Islamophobia are examples of residential and educational segregation across Europe" (EMCRX 2006).
