The article focuses on the Muslim population in Spain as of September 2011. There is an estimated 1 million Muslims living in Spain, coming from Morocco, Algeria, Pakistan, Nigeria and Senegal.

It notes the challenges faced by the government with the integration of Muslims into its education system.
