Muslim minority
Non-majority Islamic community
A Muslim minority refers to Muslims living in a country or region where they constitute a smaller portion of the population, typically under non-Islamic governance.
The term appears frequently in discussions of religious freedom, civil rights, and cultural integration: Muslim minorities in Europe face questions about religious dress.
The phrase frames Muslims as a demographic and political category rather than merely a religious one, often in contexts involving discrimination, representation, or accommodation of religious practice.
