Muslim Active Citizenship in the West investigates the emergence
and nature of Muslims' struggle for recognition as full members of
society in Australia, Great Britain and Germany. What actions have
been taken by Muslims to achieve equal civic standing? How do
socio-political and socio-economic factors impact on these
processes? And how do Muslims negotiate their place in a society
that is often regarded as sceptical - if not hostile - towards
Muslims' desire to belong? This book sheds new light on Muslims'
path towards citizenship in Australia, Great Britain and Germany.
Existing research and statistics on Muslims' socio-economic status,
community formation, claim-making and political responses, and the
public portrayal of Islam are systematically examined. These
insights are tested 'through the eyes of Muslims', based on
in-depth interviews with Muslim community leaders and other experts
in all three countries. The findings offer unique perspectives on
Muslim resilience to be recognised as equal citizens of Islamic
faith in very different socio-political national settings. Pursuing
an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, this book examines
the country-specific interplay of historical, institutional,
political, and identity dimensions of Muslims' active citizenship
and will be invaluable for students and researchers with an
interest in Sociology, Religious Studies and Political Science.
