===== Definition ===== 

Muslim self-segregation refers to the tendency of some Muslim communities to live in separate, culturally homogenous neighborhoods or enclaves. This segregation can be due to a variety of factors, including a desire to preserve cultural traditions, fear of discrimination or Islamophobia, or simply a preference for living among others who share the same religion and values.

While self-segregation can provide a sense of community and support for Muslims, it can also lead to social isolation and lack of integration with the wider society. Critics argue that self-segregation can reinforce stereotypes and hinder social cohesion, while proponents argue that it is a natural expression of cultural identity and religious freedom.

Ultimately, the issue of Muslim self-segregation is complex and varies depending on the context and individual circumstances of each community. It is important to consider the factors driving self-segregation and work towards creating more inclusive and integrated societies where all individuals can feel a sense of belonging.
