Following the failed car bomb attacks in London and the failed Glasgow airport attack in June 2007 , the European Commission started pooling ideas on how to tackle radical Islam and create a " European Islam " , i.e. an Islam which is a more tolerant " European " branch of the faith . EU home affairs commissioner Franco Frattini also sent out an 18-question survey asking EU member states how they address violent radicalisation , mainly related to an abusive interpretation of Islam . In addition , Mr Frattini wants to pursue and further the idea of establishing a so-called " European Islam " or " Islam de l'Europe " – something floated by France 's then interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy in 2006
