El asociacionismo religioso musulmán ha crecido paralelamente a la evolución demográfica que ha sido constante en las sociedades europeas y española en concreto. A diferencia de otros países del viejo continente, España ha elaborado una gestión de las minorías religiosas basada en la institucionalización nacional de las congregaciones religiosas existentes mediante la Comisión Islámica de España y una interpelación a ésta sobre el desarrollo de la libertad religiosa dentro de los márgenes previamente establecidos. No obstante, las congregaciones adscritas a esta institución nacional han disminuido en los últimos años y ha surgido un nuevo asociacionismo alejado de las arcaicas congregaciones y centrado en la lucha por la convivencia entre sus identidades nacional y religiosa.
The Muslim population has increased in European societies during recent decades. In some countries this evolution started at a post-colonial stage and in others, as a result of economic development. Spain process began in their African cities Ceuta and Melilla, but the majority of Muslim people arrived in the 90s. During these years, immigratory flow changed from north European people, such as German, French or British, to people who came from the south of the Mediterranean Sea and South America. Because of that, immigration has been the first contributor to the increase of the Muslim population in Spain, but they were not the founders of this belief in our territory. The important number of converts who were spread over the country and the majority of Muslims in the society of autonomous cities, will be relevant in public sphere despite becoming a minority due to immigration drift.
