Although they are typically portrayed by the media as dangerous
extremists in distant lands, Muslims in fact form a permanent,
peaceful and growing population in nearly every Western country.
While Westerners are now more commonly seeing mosques in their
neighborhoods or scarved Muslim women in their streets,
misperceptions and stereotypes remain. With expanding numbers and
desires to protect their rights and identities, Muslims are coming
into more and more into the public view. In Muslim Minorites in the
West noted scholars Haddad and Smith bring together outstanding
essays on the distinct experiences of minority Muslim communities
from Detroit, Michigan to Perth, Australia and the wide range of
issues facing them. Haddad and Smith in their introduction trace
the broad contours of the Muslim experience in Europe, America and
other areas of European settlement and shed light on the common
questions minority Muslims face of assimilation, discrimination,
evangelism, and politics. Muslim Minorities in the West provides a
welcome introduction to these increasingly visible citizens of
Western nations.
