Little has been published in English about Islam in Denmark
although interest grew after the cartoons crisis of 2005-6. Danish
research on the subject is extensive, and this volume aims to
present some of the most recent to an international audience. While
many of the circumstances which apply across western Europe - the
history of immigration and refugees, settlement, the growth of
Muslim organizations and international links, challenges of social
and cultural encounter, and more recently Islam as a security issue
- also apply in Denmark, there are also differences. A small,
compact country with no recent imperial history, Denmark's unified
institutional, religious and social culture can make it difficult
for newcomers to integrate. The fourteen chapters in this book
cover the topic in three parts. The first part deals with the
history and statistics of immigration and settlement, and the
religious institutional responses, Christian and Muslim. Part two
looks at specific issues and the interaction with the developing
national debate about identity and minority. Finally part three
presents the experience of four active participants in the
processes of integration: youth work and hospital chaplaincy,
interreligious dialogue, and the views of an imam.
