For centuries, Muslim countries and Europe have engaged one another
through theological dialogues, diplomatic missions, political
rivalries, and power struggles. In the last thirty years, due in
large part to globalization and migration from Islamic countries to
the West, what was previously an engagement across national and
cultural boundaries has increasingly become an internalized
encounter within Europe itself. Questions of the Hijab in schools,
freedom of expression in the wake of the Danish Cartoon crisis, and
the role of Shari'a have come to the forefront of contemporary
European discourse. The Oxford Handbook of European Islam is the
first collection to present a comprehensive approach to the
multiple and changing ways Islam has been studied across European
countries. Parts one to three address the state of knowledge of
Islam and Muslims within a selection of European countries, while
presenting a critical view of the most up-to-date data specific to
each country. These chapters analyse the immigration cycles and
policies related to the presence of Muslims, tackling issues such
as discrimination, post-colonial identity, adaptation, and
assimilation. The thematic chapters, in parts four and five,
examine secularism, radicalization, Shari'a, Hijab, and
Islamophobia with the goal of synthesizing different national
discussion into a more comparative theoretical framework. The
Handbook attempts to balance cutting edge assessment with the
knowledge that the content itself will eventually be superseded by
events. Featuring eighteen newly-commissioned essays by noted
scholars in the field, this volume will provide an excellent
resource for students and scholars interested in European Studies,
immigration, Islamic studies, and the sociology of religion.
