Religion and Finance from the Muslim perspective

Abstract

During the last few decades Islamic presence in Europe has constantly increased, also because of globalisation. However, Muslims are not homogeneously distributed, the highest concentration of Islamic communities is in Germany, Belgium, and France. Smaller communities can be found in the Mediterranean countries. The present study has to take into account that Islam, which is definitively not a monolithic entity, is a complex world, and it becomes even more complicated if we consider the small percentage of Italian converts.
