Islamic Movements of Europe
Recent years have seen a number of attempts to provide encyclopaedic works seeking to bring together the increasing amount of research on Muslims in Europe, a subject area which has grown exponentially since the 1990s. Most notable among these have been the volume from Oxford University Press, The Oxford Handbook of European Islam edited by Jocelyne Caesari (2015), and the Brill annual Yearbook of Muslims in Europe, now approaching its ninth year…
Islam and Public Controversy in Europe Edited by Nilüfer Göle
Muslim Political Participation in Europe
This title analyses European Muslim communities' developing involvement in their political environment. Muslims are making themselves noticed in the political process of Europe. But what is happening behind the sensational headlines? These 16 essays look at the processes and realities in 12 European areas: Belgium, Catalonia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK. They analyse and compare …

Can Islam be French? Pluralism and Pragmatism in a Secularist State * By John R. Bowen
Islam and imaginations about Islam—and its equation with Muslims—have bordered on the hysterical in recent years in the West. In Europe we thought this was a particularly European problem until it broke in the United States in 2010 with the row over the so-called Ground Zero mosque project and then the Qurʾān–burning circus in an out-of-the-way place in Florida. One of the key locations for these phenomena has been France—in many ways the initiat…
Introduction
Research on Islam and Muslim minorities in Europe has generally been focused on the active representatives of these groups, in the form of research on the development of movements and organizations, their legal and political status, activities and relations with the wider political contexts both at home, in the countries of origin and in the Muslim world at large. On the other hand, social sciences research on Muslims and Islam has tended to be f…
Context, focus and new perspectives in the study of Muslim religiosity
This paper examines Muslim religiosities by focusing on the variety of Islam classes offered by Muslim organizations in Denmark. More specifically, the paper highlights conditions for studying religiosity among Muslims in Denmark, and suggests new focus areas. The paper argues against an 'ethnic' approach to Islam and Muslim institutions in Western societies in favour of a more general analytical and theoretical framework. This perspective involv…
Excuse me, which radical organization are you a member of? Reflections on methods to study highly religious but non-organized Muslims
Research on Muslim minorities in Europe has focused on Muslim organizations. This is understandable as most organizations are uncomplicated objects of study: they provide members for interviews and locations for participant observation. But many Muslims are not engaged in Muslim organizations. How do we research them? Drawing on the experiences from a study on highly practising, but non-organized Muslims in Aarhus, Denmark, this paper will discus…
Danish Cartoons and Christian-Muslim Relations in Denmark
Prior to the arrival of Muslim immigrants and refugees into Denmark in the 1970s and after, Denmark’s experience with Islam was partly through university-based research and partly through missionary activities. During the 1980s and 1990s both sectors gradually adapted to the settlement of Muslims in the country. In the 1990s the public political debate became increasingly heated, leading to a steady tightening of immigration and refugee policies.…
Islam in Europe
Events over recent years have increased the global interest in Islam. This volume seeks to combat generalisations about the Muslim presence in Europe by illuminating its diversity across Europe and offering a more realistic, highly differentiated picture. It contends with the monist concept of identity that suggests Islam is the shared and main definition of Muslims living in Europe. The contributors also explore the influence of the European Uni…
Transnational Islam and the Integration of Islam in Europe
Contemporary Discussions on Religious Minorities in Muslim Countries
An Islamic debate on human rights has been developing actively over recent decades. Within that debate there has been a more specific one on religious pluralism and the rights of religious minorities in Muslim society and the Islamic state. This article briefly reviews initial responses to the United Nations Charter and then sets a historical context, before looking in more detail at selected writers such as Muh ̨ammad Sal L ¥ m al- ̨Awwa, Rashid…
The Contribution of Interfaith Dialogue toward a Culture of Peace
Dialogue among the adherents of the major world religions has alwaystaken place, especially, but not only, among the Abrahamic faiths: Judaism,Christianity and Islam. Excellent examples of this may be found in themidst of shared histories where we are more often presented with a recordof conflicts. The high points must be the enormously rich and creative interactionswhich took place in medieval Islamic Spain and southern Italy andat various times…

Migration, Settlement and Families
The establishment of Muslim family life, and the forms this has taken, in European cities have been affected by a number of factors first among which is the process of migration itself. Immigration into Europe has been a specialist activity. The origins of, for example, Pakistanis in Britain are not evenly spread across Pakistan or even the province of Punjab. Particular villages have provided the bulk of migrants. In Turkey it is not unusual to …
The Christian–Muslim Frontier
The means by which the Conservative Party have determined their party leadership has produced some of the most dramatic political theatre of the last four decades. The disputed succession to Harold Macmillan and the discrediting of the magic circle, the procedural changes designed to evict Edward Heath, the brutal political assassination of Margaret Thatcher, the bizarre resignation and immediate re-election of John Major, the putsch against Iain…
