Muslims in Europe are a diverse and growing population of citizens as well as newly arrived immigrants. Though the majority of Muslims are a longstanding and integral part of the fabric of their cities, many Muslims still experience discrimination and suspicion.

The At Home in Europe Project seeks to improve the integration of Europe’s minority and marginalized communities, including Muslims. One effort during 2010 was the sponsorship of a photograph booth at the Copenhagen Eid Festival.
