Summary: "A useful introduction to the social, political, cultural and religious position of Muslims living in contemporary Europe, this book describes the history of early European Muslims and outlines the causes and course of twentieth-century Muslim immigration." "Explaining how Muslim communities have developed in individual countries, Jorgen Nielsen examines their origins, their present-day ethnic composition, distribution and organisational patterns, and the political, legal and cultural contexts in which they exist. He also provides a comparative consideration of issues common to Muslims in all Western European countries - namely the role of the family, and the questions of worship, education and religious thought. It's the third edition of a best-selling text, the only comprehensive survey of Muslims in Western Europe with material that has been completely updated in the light of recent research."--Jacket.
