Muslim enclaves composed of recent immigrants are an increasingly common part of societies in Western Europe, North America, and South America. Unfortunately, this population trend has sometimes resulted in conflicts between the long-established residents and the newcomers. This is especially true of Muslim immigrants from a very traditional or puritan background (such as Wahhabism and Salafism), who view the Quran as the sacred word of God and have radically different notions of self, community, governance, and nation from more secularized citizens of other backgrounds.
