This book focuses on a wide variety of Muslim ac- tors who, in
recent years, have entered into the European public sphere. Without
excluding the phenomenon of terrorists, it maps the whole field of
Muslim visibility. The nine contributions present unpublished
ethnographic materials that have been collected between 2003 and
2005. They track down the available space that is open to Muslims
in EU member states claiming a visibility of their own. The volume
collects male and female, secular and religious, radical and
pietistic voices of sometimes very young people. They all speak
about "being a Muslim in Europe" and the meaning of "real Islam."
