Abstract

Islam has been existed in European countries since couple centuries ago through science-based approach.   The involvement of Moslem scientists, in the era of Islamic sciences transition and transformation process, were done in term of translating literature and education given to Europeans. The role of Islam towards development of European civilization since renaissance and aufklarung era until present days could not be neglected. Yet, the harmony between European and Islamic countries relationship was fluctuated; it because of various causes, both internal and external factors. The perspective of European communities towards Islam decreased until its lowest level; even Islamophobia perspective appeared massively in among non-Moslem European societies. The perspective caused Moslems, the minority in European societies, got injustice and it caused them irritated psychologically. Ideally, Islamophobia could be decreased or even omitted if European societies were willing to explore and understand the teachings of Islam which are full of compassion and peace. One of the teachings’ core was the tolerance, which was full of appreciation and respect toward human being. It was a symbol that Islam is a religion for the universe (rahmatan lil ‘alamin). Keywords: Islam in Europe, Islamophobia, tolerance
