Reviews
This book is essential reading for all those interested in Islam and Muslims in Europe... How these Muslims were received in Europe by Europeans and how they reacted to European culture and life conditions is, I think, the most important contribution of this book. Islamophobia, on the part of some Europeans, and reluctant integration, on the part of some Muslims, played into the hands of European politicians and lawmakers as well as into those of Muslim leaders in Europe. There is no doubt that Europe has changed with the presence of Muslims in it, and that Muslims have changed after they came to live in Europe. Moreover, this book is a good record of this change, and a good presentiment of things to come. * Issa J. Boullata, Middle East Media and Book Reviews Online *
...one of the most significant resources for anyone working in this field. The information and analyses in each chapter are indispensable, and the bibliographies, often running to eight or more pages of small print in each chapter, constitute an essential reference resource. This is where researchers can best start. * Jorgen Nielsen, Journal of Islamic Studies *
