Drawing upon original case studies spanning North America, Europe
and Australia, Muslim Citizens in the West explores how Muslims
have been both the excluded and the excluders within the wider
societies in which they live. The book extends debates on the
inclusion and exclusion of Muslim minorities beyond ideas of
marginalisation to show that, while there have undoubtedly been
increased incidences of Islamophobia since September 2001, some
Muslim groups have played their own part in separating themselves
from the wider society. The cases examined show how these
tendencies span geographical, ethnic and gender divides and can be
encouraged by a combination of international and national
developments prompting some groups to identify wider society as the
'other'. Muslim and non-Muslim scholars and practitioners in
political science, social work, history and law also highlight
positive outcomes in terms of Muslim activism with relationship to
their respective countries and suggest ways in which increasing
tensions felt, perceived or assumed can be eased and greater
emphasis given to the role Muslims can play in shaping their place
in the wider communities where they live.
