The meeting is inherent to the council's actions to improve the knowledge of imams in the European context.
Mr. Abdellah Boussouf spoke about the Muslims in Europe, saying that they live in a distressing situation due to the misundertstanding of islam, on all levels. He said that he was not event sure the situation could really change because of the huge « stereotypes » in every level of the society.
