| Research Abstract |
The Muslim migrants in the Western Europe who came from Turkey, the Maghreb countries and Pakistan are originally immigrant workers. They resided in the host countries such as Germany, Netherlands. United Kingdom, and France with their families since the 1970s. Nevertheless their host countries adopt secular social rules, among the migrants, re-Islamization have been accelerated in the last two decades. In this research project, we tried to illustrate outline of the re-Islimization process, and examied their major factors.
The re-Islamization itself was occurred when the Muslim migrants awakened that their daily life should be separated from their surrounding secular and inappropriate western societies, however, the immigrant policies, principles of secularism, and individualism considerably affect the goal and objectives of the re-Islamization movements.

The Muslims are mostly enjoying freedom of faith and religious activities, and the fact that religious education is recognised in a considerably extent is a major positive factor in the migrants' social participation. In spite of the generous attitude to the migrants, re-Islamization movements are also apparently observed in the Netherlands, because social diseases such as narcotism and alcoholism are serious issues in this country The Muslims have strong wishes to protect their children from these social diseases.
Through our research, we concluded that integration policies for the Muslim immigrants are unsuccessful in the sense that the Muslims, after their awakening in re-Islamization, abandoned their efforts to be integrated in the western individualism and secularism. Less
