Background: This paper explores the identity of Muslim migrants in a Central European context from a religious perspective. Furthermore, it aims to discuss the historical aspects of migration as well as the points of departure for reflection on this theme that are highly relevant in contemporary Europe. In addition, current attitudes to and confrontations with migrants are addressed from the perspective of present events. Based on the current approaches to and the relationship of coexistence with, especially Muslim, migrants, the paper argues that their identity and religion establishes the foundation of their culture. At the same time, it explains some aggressive reactions, radicalism, the intimidation strategy, fears, the media-shaped image of migrants, and, last but not least, the atmosphere of mistrust toward Muslims. Conclusion: Regarding the point of departure for mutual coexistence with Muslim migrants especially within the framework of the cultural aspects and traditions related to both Islam and Christianity and considering both practical implications and the opportunities for further research, this paper refers to inter-religious dialogue and the efforts being made which strive toward adequate, up-to-date, and also authentic education in this highly relevant topic from the perspective of religious studies.
