An unprecedented, richly, detailed, and clear-eyed exploration of
Islam in European history and civilization Tensions over Islam were
escalating in Europe even before 9/11. Since then, repeated
episodes of terrorism together with the refugee crisis have
dramatically increased the divide between the majority population
and Muslim communities, pushing the debate well beyond concerns
over language and female dress. Meanwhile, the parallel rise of
right-wing, nationalist political parties throughout the continent,
often espousing anti-Muslim rhetoric, has shaken the foundation of
the European Union to its very core. Many Europeans see Islam as an
alien, even barbaric force that threatens to overwhelm them and
their societies. Muslims, by contrast, struggle to find a place in
Europe in the face of increasing intolerance. In tandem,
anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination cause many on the
continent to feel unwelcome in their European homes. Akbar Ahmed,
an internationally renowned Islamic scholar, traveled across Europe
over the course of four years with his team of researchers and
interviewed Muslims and non-Muslims from all walks of life to
investigate questions of Islam, immigration, and identity. They
spoke with some of Europe's most prominent figures, including
presidents and prime ministers, archbishops, chief rabbis, grand
muftis, heads of right-wing parties, and everyday Europeans from a
variety of backgrounds. Their findings reveal a story of the place
of Islam in European history and civilization that is more
interwoven and complex than the reader might imagine, while
exposing both the misunderstandings and the opportunities for
Europe and its Muslim communities to improve their relationship.
Along with an analysis of what has gone wrong and why, this urgent
study, the fourth in a quartet examining relations between the West
and the Muslim world, features recommendations for promoting
integration and pluralism in the twenty-first century.
