Its name stems from the Dutch words "molen' which means "the mill" and "beek" which means "the creek".

In other words, Serbian name of Molenbeek could be The Mill creek.

This suburb was mentioned first in X century, and it became part of Brussels in XIII century but it kept its rural look up until XVIII century.

Industrialization period bought economic growth to the elite, but also the catastrophic life conditions to the majority of that place; it had the nickname "little Manchester".

Even though the life conditions have become better in the meantime, this part of Brussels has always been poor when compared to the rest of Belgium, and many projects of revitalization are still in progress.

Media report that Muslims are a majority, but this is not entirely true because Muslims are 39,3 % of the population there.

Molenbbek is not the municipality with the largest number of Muslims, because Sen-Zos-ten-Nod has this 'title'.

However, due to many radical Islamists in this municipality, facts are that the people responsible for Paris terrorist attacks came from there.

This brought Molenbeek the nickname of the Jihadist capital of Europe.
