The London and Madrid bombings, the French riots, the uproar over
the Danish Muhammad cartoons, foiled plots at Heathrow Airport, in
Frankfurt Germany and Copenhagen--these events all underscore the
volatile relationship between Muslims and their European hosts. Who
are these angry Muslims? How did so many come to Europe? What does
this mean for the United States?
Covering eight countries and thirty cities, but focusing on
Britain and France, Europe's Angry Muslims provides an
authoritative and engaging account of how Islam came to 20th
century Europe and altered the continent's cultural, political, and
security landscape. This balanced book combines first hand
reporting, based on interviews of former radicals, scrutiny of
court records, historical background, and cutting-edge analysis to
capture the complex phenomenon of European Islam. Leiken cites
actual speeches and testimony from radical imams such as Abu Hamza,
now under arrest. The author takes us to the streets of East London
where veiled women shop in medieval market stalls, where arranged
marriages are standard, and jihad videos available under the
counter. We visit the Paris housing projects after the French riots
of autumn 2005, with a local hero, a sincere Muslim and ex-rapper,
who admires America. Perhaps most important, the book describes how
good intentions and bottom lines, cheap labor and cheap grace paved
the road to terror and social dislocation. It unravels the
connections, real and imagined, between immigration and terrorism.
In charting the path of radical Islam into Europe, the book
examines how home grown terrorists linked up with radical mentors,
deepening and reconfiguring the "clash of
civilizations"debate.
Europe's Angry Muslims is the first book to provide an in-depth
look at the emerging Islamic threat in Europe in an objective and
comprehensive way, combining sharp-eyed reportage with a
provocative, engaging narrative.
