On 30 March 2003, the Belgium King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) held a colloquium on "Islam and Muslims in Belgium – challenges and opportunities for a multicultural society".
Maria Arena fully agreed with Zolberg’s last statement and noted that the Belgium‘s model of integration was actually a synthesis of best practices from the French formula of Laïcité and the Anglo-Saxon and Dutch model of an integration via the immigrant community.
It seems therefore that the colloquium, which is the first in a series of initiated dialogues addressing the situation of Islam and Muslims in Belgium, will contribute to a better understanding of Islam and exchange best practices of good integration and living together.
