The first complete study of a little known Muslim presence in
Europe. Since 9/11, the interest in Muslims in Europe has increased
significantly. There has been much public debate and academic
research focused on Muslims living in larger Western European
countries like Britain, France or Germany, but little is known of
Muslims in Ireland. This book fills the gap, providing a complete
study of this unexplored Muslim presence, from the arrival of the
first Muslim resident in Cork, in the southwest of Ireland, in 1784
until mass immigration to the Republic of Ireland during the
'Celtic Tiger' period from the mid 1990s onwards. Muslim
immigration and settlement in Ireland is very recent, and poses new
challenges to a society that has perceived itself as religiously
and culturally homogeneous. Ireland is also one of the least
secular societies in Europe, providing a different context for
Muslims seeking recognition by state and society. This book is
essential for anyone who wants to understand the diversity of
Muslim presences across Europe. It makes an important and original
contribution to understanding the diversity of Muslim presences in
different national contexts across Europe; combines historical,
sociological and ethnographic research methods to provide a rich
and multi faceted study of the Muslim presence in Ireland in its
historical and contemporary dimensions; provides insights into the
dynamics of interaction between Muslims and state and society in
one of the least secular societies in Europe and illustrates the
central role European networks of the Muslim Brotherhood have
played in organising and representing Muslim communities in Europe,
with Ireland being a prime example.
