DOI:
https://doi.org/10.33178/ijpp.4.1.5Abstract
In line with the remarkable changes that Ireland and Irish society went through in last few decades, the social fabric of the country now, more than at any other time, is multinational, multiethnic and multicultural. Among these new arrivals are Muslims. Because of the current global political condition, their integration makes more headlines. This article seeks to present a different viewpoint with regard to the question of the integration of Muslims in Ireland.References
