Islam and Political-Cultural Europe

This book builds on its predecessor, Islam, Europe and Emerging Legal Issues, by continuing to identify the sometimes confusing and often contentious new challenges that arise as Islam settles deeper into Europe but follows those issues out of the courtroom and into daily life and institutions.



Islam and Political-Cultural Europe identifies the sometimes confusing and often contentious new challenges that arise in daily life and institutions as Islam settles deeper into Europe. Critiquing past and recent assimilation efforts in the fields of education, finance, and security, the contributors offer prospective solutions to diverse contemporary problems. Exploring the interactions of Muslim, Christian and secular cultures in the context of highly pluralized contemporary European societies, this book offers a valuable tool for those within and outside Europe seeking to understand the far-reaching implications of combining cultures, the struggles of the Muslim-Christian-secular transition, and the progress which the future promises.
