Hip Hop cannot be perceived merely from the angle of American culture. As a music genre and a subculture it became a way to articulate aspirations and demands of young people from all over the world. One of the subgenres is Islamic Hip Hop which belongs to the so-called conscious Hip Hop. The article places Hip Hop of European Muslims in the framework comprising the Middle Eastern and the US Hip Hop. Basing on the lyrics, it analyses problems raised by rappers: spiritual life, clash between Western and religious values, negative attitudes towards Islam in the West, politics towards the Middle East (especially in Palestine and Iraq). Islamic Hip Hop is on the one hand a modern tool aimed at transmission of neo-conservative religious contents, on the other hand - it enables raising difficult topics (e.g. terrorism, juvenile delinquency, honour killings). Moreover, it can be perceived as an element of an emerging Muslim consumer culture of the middle class of second and further gene- rations of Muslims in the West.

Researchers of Belorussia point out the existence of the term mixed world in the language of local people. It is quite similar to cultural borderland, but it is also used to descript sudden changes (historical, political and socio-cultural) as well as their consequences. The aim of the authoress is to popularize mentioned term and to show it might be used by anthropologists to describe the examined reality, contemporary as well as past, existing in people's memory. Selected examples from Europe are used to show the possibilities of using the concept of mixed world to describe the multicultural societies, migrations, EU enlargement or - in general - cultural borderlands and their changes. The authoress asks about the factors contributing to the mixed world. She underlines that every researcher using his own examples can present his own image of mixed world. It is a part of reality in which we live or which we reproduce from the past.
