The discourse on European Islam focuses on the developments inside contemporary Muslim immigrant communities and stresses the dynamics and transformations of the religion in the changing social context. In such perspective one point is missing - the example of 'indigenous' Muslim minorities, such as the Poles of Tatar origin, who, in the course of the history, adapted some elements of Islamic culture and developed the first variants of Euro-Islam. The paper explores the socio-cultural processes that contributed to the emergence of an European identity of the Polish Tatars' community. Some aspects of the negotiation of social identity are analyzed, and the role of the state and state's policy towards Tatar group are shown, are as well as some inspirations for the Tatar modernist ideas in the Islamic reformist movements.
