Abstract

Since the recent past, Muslims have been at the center of immigrant movements. In countries where they are located, Muslims usually target European geography as a candidate for low-status jobs, to meet the economic expectations they can not obtain in their own countries. However, at the beginning of the most important driving factors of today's migration movement are confusion and wars in the geography of Islam.
While Muslims were a part of the work force of the society to which they migrated earlier, as generations grew in numbers and social conditions, they became increasingly demanding the right to become a part of the society by becoming a labor power resource. This has led to the development of a phobic understanding of Islam and Muslims in the European societies under the general title of anti-immigration over time. There are many reasons behind this; wealth sharing, declining economic structure, unemployment, identity, integration problems and attacks of radical religious groups, and so on. Historically and culturally, when the course of Europe's relations with Islam is taken into consideration, when it is said that immigrants are Muslims in general, Muslims come to mind and eventually an Islamophobia has emerged. In recent years, the visibility of Muslims throughout Europe has increased and the names have passed through some violent acts.
In this study, it is tried to explain the rising anti-Islamism in Poland, the increasing migration of the rise of Islamophobia and the result of the sociological reflections connected with this aim, that the basis of the anti-Islamism changes according to the past and this change is analyzed within the scope of Muslims and Turks living in Poland. Observations related to the work were tried to give Islamic and Turkish immigrants an example of Islamophobic approaches with the point of view of the people and to give an overview of the immigrants to the Polish people. The fact that Islamophobin has shown similarities with other countries in Poland and its influences on its rise have been examined whether it reflects on society, its visibility and social events.
