In the first episode of "Allah in Europe", Jan Leyers begins his journey in Bosnia. He visits the capital of Sarajevo where he gets a shave by a female barber. This first impression of the rather modern Islam of Bosnian Muslims is confirmed by the sisters Emina and Nermina Hodžić, two successful fashion designers. They believe their city to be very open and tolerant.
But this was not always the case. Bosnia's history is overshadowed by the war between Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks in the early 1990s. The memory and grief are still very present and tangible. Jan travels to Srebrenica, the site of the genocide in 1995. Ahmed Hrustanović lost his father, uncles and grandfathers. Together they visit the grave of his father in the cemetery of Potočari.
Back in Sarajevo, Jan meets with Damir. The entrepreneur used to live in the USA, but returned to his home town where he feels that Islam is purer and stronger. He introduces Jan to a mystical Sufi Order in Sarajevo.

What is the future of Islam in Europe? How hopeful can we be on an European, enlightened version of Islam? Is that something Muslims themselves actually want? And will it be possible to overcome the Europeans’ distrust of Islam?
Jan Leyers goes in search of answers. He heads off to Sarajevo, Budapest, Vienna, Hamburg, Paris, London, Copenhagen and Malmö. He listens to the voice of experts and the word on the street and talks with religious men and women, with ex-believers and new converts. What do they hope for and what are their concerns? In this series, Jan stays true to his style: nuanced and respectful, without shying away from controversy.
