How do Muslims in Europe acquire discursive and practical knowledge
of Islam? How are conceptions of Islamic beliefs, values and
practices transmitted and how do they change? Who are the
authorities on these issues that Muslims listen to? How do new
Muslim discourses emerge in response to the European context? This
book addresses the broader question of how Islamic knowledge
(defined as what Muslims hold to be correct Islamic beliefs and
practices) is being produced and reproduced in West European
contexts by looking at specific settings, institutions and
religious authorities. Chapters examine in depth four key areas
relating to the production and reproduction of Islamic knowledge:
authoritative answers in response to explicit questions in the form
of fatwas. the mosque and mosque association as the setting of much
formal and informal transmission of Islamic knowledge. the role of
Muslim intellectuals in articulating alternative Muslim discourses.
higher Islamic education in Europe and the training of imams and
other religious functionaries. Featuring contributions from leading
sociologists and anthropologists, the book presents the findings of
empirical research in these issues from a range of European
countries such as France, Italy, the Netherlands and Great Britain.
As such it has a broad appeal, and will be of great interest to
students and scholars of Islamic studies, anthropology, sociology
and religion.
