Abstract
The article deals with the origins and essence of the specific European model of multiculturalism, its integral link with the social-economic development of post-war Europe and its immigration policy in the second half of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centu-ry. The concept of multiculturalism is interpreted as a sociocultural reality and as a set of political practices aimed at managing cultural diversity. There are some differences in the policies of Britain, France and Germany regarding the ways of adapting Muslim minorities. The dynamics of the growth of negative symptoms in the European multicultural space, their transformation into the tragic consequences of terrorist acts committed on the basis of radical Islamism are outlined. According to statistics, from March, 2004 to August 2017, as a result of terrorist acts committed by radical Islamists, 604 people were murdered in European countries. The article shows the relationship between the spread of sentiments of radical Islamism and the intensification of xenophobic prejudices among non-Muslim populations in Europe. The role of the migration crisis 2015–2016 is revealed. The aggravation of the political situation in Europe, its influence on the results of the presidential (France) and parliamentary (Germany, Austria) elections of 2017 is accentuated. The significance of the cultural component in the aggravation of the problems of European multiculturalism is emphasized. The given examples include situations related to the status of religion, as well as gender practices and norms of be-havior having evolved in European and Muslim societies. It is stressed that the perspectives as for the harmonization of Western secular and Muslim religious mentality remain problematic. The attention is focused on the necessity to perform the systematic study of the culturological aspect of the problem viewing the improvement of political management practices
