The voices in this book belong to legislators, local officials,
doctors and engineers, educators and intellectuals, lawyers and
social workers, owners of small businesses, translators, and
community activists. They are also all Muslims, who have decided to
become engaged in political and civic organizations. And for that
reason, they constantly have to explain themselves, mostly in order
to say who they are not. They are not fundamentalists, not
terrorists, and most do not support the introduction of Islamic
religious law in Europe - especially not its application to
Christians. This book is about who these people are, and what they
want. This book is based on three hundred interviews with European
Muslim leaders from six European countries: Sweden, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Great Britain, France, and Germany. The question of
Islam in Europe is not a matter of global war and peace but raises
difficult questions about the positions of Christianity and Islam
in public life, and about European identities. There is not one
Muslim position on how Islam should develop in Europe but many
views, and most Muslims are rather looking for ways to build
institutions that will allow European Muslims to practice their
religion in a way that is compatible with social integration.
