Today there are at least 15 million people in Western Europe who
adhere to the Muslim faith or have close cultural or other
affiliations with the Islamic world. Indeed, in the course of a few
decades, Islam has emerged as Europe's second religion, after
Christianity. What is remarkable about this phenomenon is that it
has occurred gradually, generally peacefully, and, in some measure,
as a consequence of the economic needs of European countries.
Despite some difficulties, Islam is slowly but inexorably
becoming part of Europe's social, cultural, and, to some degree,
political landscape. The question today is not can Islam be
uprooted and expelled from European soil, as was done six centuries
ago during the period of Reconquista in Spain, but rather what is
the best way of accommodating Islam in Europe and establishing
cooperative relations between Muslims and the followers of other
religious and/or secular value systems. This volume examines the
situation and attempts to provide answers to these questions
through a country-by-country analysis by recognized experts from
each of the Western European nations examined. An invaluable
resource and text for scholars, students, and other researchers
involved with Islamic and European Studies.
