An estimated twenty million Muslims now reside in Europe, mostly as
a result of large-scale postwar immigration. In The Muslim Question
in Europe, Peter O'Brien challenges the popular notion that the
hostilities concerning immigration-which continues to provoke
debates about citizenship, headscarves, secularism, and
terrorism-are a clash between "Islam and the West." Rather, he
explains, the vehement controversies surrounding European Muslims
are better understood as persistent, unresolved intra-European
tensions. O'Brien contends that the best way to understand the
politics of state accommodation of European Muslims is through the
lens of three competing political ideologies: liberalism,
nationalism, and postmodernism. These three broadly understood
philosophical traditions represent the most influential normative
forces in the politics of immigration in Europe today. He concludes
that Muslim Europeans do not represent a monolithic anti-Western
bloc within Europe. Although they vehemently disagree among
themselves, it is along the same basic liberal, nationalist, and
postmodern contours as non-Muslim Europeans.
