Yet with varying degrees of intensity depending on the point in history, all societies have experienced both incoming and outgoing migratory movements. Recently, after the regional wars in some Asian and African countries in the name of religious objectives and concerns, has led to huge number of immigrants and refugees to go European countries which are mostly secular states. These immigrants and refugees are mostly with Islamic and religious practicing backgrounds and encountering a secular culture and atmosphere, particularly, west Europe in which according to statistics, only between 9 to 12 percent are practicing religious Christians, i.e., believing in God, hereafter and religious rules, cause them a cultural shock. To find a solution for such traumatic problem, the main point is bilateral knowledge about each other, i.e. Muslims to Christians and Christians to Muslims from cultural and religious perspectives. This article tries to elaborate on the facts and solutions for this phenomenon from Islamic perspective which can lead to betterment of situation which is troublesome for both sides. It is important to observe the facts and juxtapose them with realities and norms of Europe to cause better integration and citizenship. This paper also emphasizes on the dire need for changing the phobias to philias, for instance, the strategy of Islamophobia and west-phobia to Islam and west studies which seems to be dire need for today world. Keywords: oriental, occidental, integration, citizenship, Islamic teaching, non-Muslim. 1- Introduction The concepts of citizenship and integration are always connected to the notions of “I” and “Other” or the intercultural values, norms and standards of aboding countries.
