This paper critically examines multiculturalism in Europe and tries to put out the reasons why it has not been successful yet. It is not possible for Europe to solve its social identity crisis until having a true understanding of ‘diversity’ and ‘living together’. The paper begins with an introduction of my main idea about multiculturalism and interculturalism before exploring and discussing the problematic approaches of European states to the minorities and different identities. Following this discussion, the paper moves on to the different elements of the social crisis of Europe and examines the discriminative approaches towards immigrants – especially towards Muslim communities as the largest minority group- in European countries. The paper also focuses on Islamophobia in Europe and Turkey’s road to EU membership in this framework as a country with a high Muslim population. It concludes with some suggestions to overcome these crucial problems such as racism and islamophobia in Europe which are important for the future generations and European democracies.
