Abstract
SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: The pervasive phenomenon of the Islamic uprising has taken the West by surprise, and for this reason, with the available tools, it analyzed it to discover the strengths and weaknesses of the problem, and to be able to face such an analysis; but on the other hand, the religion of Islam is a religion of development and it calls for all kinds of knowledge and asks the Muslim ummah to improve the elements of power in their soul and try to be the best ummah and to be the pioneer of the people of the world.
METHOD AND FINDING: The religion of Islam in the West and the interaction way Western societies and governments and their interaction with Muslim minorities in those countries is a topic that has been the focus of analysts and culturologists for nearly two decades in scientific, academic, and media circles in Europe and the United States. Meanwhile, it seems that different attitudes and schools of thought towards Islam and Muslims living in Europe and America are far from the objective and practical situation of social movements of minorities and Islamic currents in these areas, in other words, due to the existence of different views and approaches on how to interact with these religious minorities, Islamic currents in the West find themselves in deep identity straits.
CONCLUSION: The present study sought to explain the concept of Islamophobia and Islamism in the West, which was used to explain this meaning and concept.
