The expression of an Islamic political radicalism in Britain has
been one of the most dramatic developments in recent decades.
Islamic Radicalism and Multicultural Politics explores the nature
of this phenomenon by analysing the origins of Islam and its
historical contact with Western Europe and Britain, and the
emergence of Islamic political radicalism in the Muslim world and
in the West.
Tahir Abbas draws on historical analysis and contemporary case
studies to explore the post-war immigration and integration of
Muslim groups, the complex relations that exist between a secular
liberal Britain and a diverse but multifaceted Islam, and the
extent of social and economic inequalities that affect Muslims as
individual citizens and in local area communities. He shows how
violent extremism among British Muslims is in reality influenced by
a range of issues, including the factors of globalisation and
contemporary politics, media and culture. Analysing and dissecting
public policy, Abbas offers suggestions for tackling the major
social, political and economic questions facing British Muslims in
the post-7/7 era.
An important contribution to the study of religion, race and
ethnicity in modern Britain, this accessible work will be of
interest to anyone working in the field of Islamic studies,
sociology and political radicalism.
