Despite their many disagreements over political, religious and social aspects of Muslims and Islam in the West, both movements use da'wa as an instrument for gaining support among Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe. The article will focus on their activities, institutions, and level of influence in France and Britain, and the significant differences in their methods of using da'wa.

However, the Arab Spring’s regional impact and the emergence of ISIS (ISIL and IS) led to waves of religious radicalisation, especially in the Sunnite part of Azerbaijan, which is more Turkic aligned, yet far territorially from the immediate influence of the Islamic radicalism. The article’s main conclusion is that the Islamic radicalisation in Azerbaijan could emerge only as a result of the structurally unbalanced status quo, which the Sunnis view as favouring more the Shiites.
