About this book

An excellent exploration of Islam in Western Europe has developed from early immigration and settlement to the point where a native generation is developing ways of being European and Muslim. England is given special attention as a case study, but as the discussion moves into the present and the future, reference is made to all of western Europe. Factors in this process not only arise from the Muslim communities themselves but also from the inherited structures of European society and state. Although the issues are complex and tense, the author is generally optimistic about the outcome.

Reviews

'...the book conveys the depth of the author's knowledge and first-hand experience of the debates, both as observer and interlocutor and is extremely valuable for that.' - Mick Dumper, Political Studies

'...provides a very good introduction to the role that Islam plays in the experience of most non-European immigrants to Western Europe...with his careful and balanced treatment of a controversial topic the author helps us imagine ways that tensions between Islam and the West might in the future be minimized.' - J. Christopher Soper, International Journal of Middle East Studies
