This paper explores the opinions expressed in a survey of Muslim immigrants in Europe with regard to their transnational links with their countries of origin and the ties to their countries of destination. The analysis focuses on three national groups which are the most numerous among the foreign Muslims in the cities where they live: Bangladeshis in London, Turks in Berlin and Moroccans in Madrid. The author concludes that the results portray an image of immigrants who live "here and there" - most maintaining transnational ties with their countries of origin and close social links with members of their ethnic community in the cities where they live.
