Islam in Europe

'Islam in Europe is incredibly topical given the world crisis that has evolved in the last few years. It is a thoroughly researched and prescient work that should be essential reading for scholars, politicians and the general public at large. In the Post-September 11 era, one cannot afford to put down this important book which promises to become a mainstay in the field of European Studies.' Associate Professor Peter Schulman, Old Dominion University, USA 'Islam's emergence as Europe's second largest religion is fraught with consequences for Europe as well as for Europe's relations with the United States and the rest of the world. This excellent study makes an important contribution to the understanding of this critical dimension of Europe and its future.' Professor Simon Serfaty, Old Dominion University, USA '...it contributes to the ever-widening debate on Islam in Europe today...The book also covers a lot of the well known texts and issues and sets out the key events in each country. It is a good source of information for those embarking on research looking at the Western European countries through which contemporary Islam was introduced.' The Muslim World Book Review 'The book is highly readable, analytical and thought provoking. In a way, the book has given a choice to Muslims in Europe to go in for integration or face societal and political marginalization.' USI Journal 'In this timely book, Robert J. Pauly correctly identifies the political challenge facing Europe: integrating its fifteen million Muslims.' Political Science Quarterly
