Despite the current negative image of Islam in Europe there has
been a steady growth of converts to Islam over the past few
decades. British converts are a highly diverse group, with
different social, economic and educational backgrounds. Recently
this group has grown in confidence and become increasingly active
in influencing positive Islamic discourse in Britain. The book
sheds light on the intellectual and spiritual contributions of some
of the prominent figures of this group of 'new Muslims', and
assesses their efforts in shaping Islam in British society;
including: Martin Lings, Gai Eaton, Tim Winter and Hamza Yusuf. The
research investigates the potential benefit 'new Muslims' can bring
to bridge the gap between Muslim communities and wider British
society, thus helping in the process of building mutual trust,
greater cooperation and positive understanding among all parties in
Britain. The work will help readers to become aware of the
evolution of a "British Islam" that is more open, rooted in British
values and spiritual traditions, and forms a part of the
continually changing British religious landscape.
