چکیده:
Now Muslims constitute a significant portion of the population in the continents of Europe and America. The question of "Is it permissible for a Muslim to live in the West?" has now given way to another question: "What rights do Muslims, as an inseparable part of the Western hemisphere of the world, enjoy, and how can they be protected?" The present article is organized into two sections to answer this question. The first section is dedicated to "The Position of Minority Rights in International Law" and discusses efforts to protect national, ethnic, and religious minorities, as well as the concept and foundations of minority rights. The second section is dedicated to the rights of Muslim minorities in the West, particularly in Europe, and by relying on the latest research conducted, addresses some of the challenges, problems, and solutions for improving, preserving, and protecting the rights of Muslim minorities.

ـ International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, December 1966: The only binding norm regarding the protection of minorities within the framework of the modern international system is limited to Article 27 of the said Covenant, which stipulates: "In states in which ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities exist, persons belonging to such minorities shall not be denied the right, inter alia, to enjoy their own culture together with other members of their group, to profess and practise their own religion, or to use their own language.
ـ Declaration on the Rights of Persons belonging to National, Ethnic, Religious or Linguistic Minorities, adopted in 1992 (1) : As was observed, international law initially supported the rights of minorities in light of the general protection of human rights and the principle of non-discrimination.
" In light of this very principle, the three rights contained in Article 27 of the Civil and Political Covenant are also reflected in the first paragraph of Article 2: "Persons belonging to racial, ethnic or religious minorities have the right, in community with other members of their group, to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practise their own religion, or to use their own language.
This research, in another place, under the title "Islamizing the Political Culture of Europe," states: "Migration and citizenship rights cannot be considered the sole factor in the status of Muslim minority groups in European countries; rather, the important role of the policies adopted in Europe toward religion must be taken into account.
