Muslims in Europe; Evaluation of the reasons for Joining Terroristic Networks

“European Islamic Terrorism” or “Muslim Terrorists in Europe” that in western media is frequently addressed to promote Islamophobia, is a dubious social- political phenomenon that is worthy of investigation. In this regard, different levels of the Muslims’ orientations toward terroristic groups and the main reasons behind that should be investigated. Firstly, this orientation was resulted by the escalation of Islamophobic actions, social and political pressures on Muslims, and the frustration of the life in west, etc. However, in the next phase, the role of extremist groups’ propaganda and even the indirect encouragement of the European governments to overturn Assad regime in Syria have been influential. It is also noteworthy that the “European Islamic Terrorism” phenomenon has been carried out with the cooperation and collusion of Western governments and some Takfiri and Wahhabi groups. And although Muslims’ orientation toward terrorism is trivial, but some European governments through exaggerations and hyperbole in media have employed it as a justification for their warmongering policies and confronting the development of the true Islam as well as the genuine Islamic discourse.
