Muslims in Slovenia (2,4% of the population) emigrated from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo or Macedonia in the last 50 years. The paper discusses their religious integration in the new environment. Integration can be defined as a two-way process of mutual adaptation between immigrants and the local community. The Slovenian State has wished to enable the integration of Muslims following the European integration policy. We cannot overlook the fact that in the year 2011 Muslims in Slovenia are not administratively uniform. A close look into their integration efforts regarding the Islamic expressions of faith in everyday life shows that the Islamic community in Slovenia and Slovenian Muslim community intend to create a Slovene Islamic identity. The Association for the promotion Islamic culture in Slovenia, however, maintains expressions of faith, brought by the members from their ex Islamic environment.
