What's it like to be a Muslim living in the West today? And how
different is it to the experiences of Muslims who lived in Western
countries many generations ago? It is a difficult time right now
for the Muslim diaspora throughout the United States and Europe.
George W. Bush's 'war on terror' is seen through much of the Muslim
world as a war on Islam. This has complex repercussions for Muslims
living in the West. Tensions and anxieties are running high as many
Muslims in America and Europe are caught in a climate of social
unrest, much of it compounded by living in the spotlight of the
media. This book generates a fresh perspective on the problematic
relationships between Islam, the West and so-called modernity -- in
the light of an increasingly vocal Muslim diaspora in Europe and
the United States. This is not the first time that conflict has
arisen between Muslims in the West and their other communities --
this book examines a long history of volatile social relations
based on extensive travels and research across four continents.
Iftikhar H. Malik offers a wealth of case studies ranging from
Muslim Spain and the Ottoman Empire to the present day; from the
eruptions of anti-Islamic feeling over the Salman Rushdie affair to
the demonisation of Islam currently running high on the agenda of
the 'war on terror'.
