In the wake of numerous historical and current geopolitical, social
and economic events/tragedies, misunderstandings have emerged and
proliferated about Islam and Christianity. Inadequate media
coverage, lack of interpersonal understanding/knowledge, and
deep-seeded prejudices have led to the communication of various
misconceptions. These misconceptions have ranged from how Islam and
Christianity began, to confusion over how and even if governments
and society should protect the rights of religious groups. This
book provides a glimpse into how misperceptions between Muslims and
Christians in France and Britain perpetuate interpersonal and
societal conflicts. Through the use of in-depth interviews and
statistical analysis, Muslims and Christians express their
experiences. Christians explain how they perceive Islam changing
the very nature of Europe. Furthermore, Christians assert this
change is something Christian Europe should resist. Muslims, on the
other hand, see Europe as an unwelcoming home that expects them to
change and become Europeans but does not understand their faith or
heritage. Readers will find vivid descriptions from respondents of
their experiences from living as a Muslim or a Christian in a
Europe going through what many consider an identity shift.
