Islam in the European Union : Transnationalism, Youth and the War on Terror
Yunas Samad; Sen Kasturi
- Karachi Oxford University Press 2007
- xxv,251 Pages 14x22 cm HB
Papers presented at a conference held in 2003.
Include Abbreviations, Tables, Glossary, Bibliography and Index.
This book is about Muslims in Europe and the "War on Terror"--its causes and consequences for European citizenship and exclusion particularly for young people. The rising tide of hostility towards people of Muslim origin is challenged in this collection from a varied and multi national perspective. The book illustrates that Muslims are as diverse a group as those of any other religion; therefore to place all Muslims into one category is wholly unscientific and discriminatory. It shows that there are historical and ideological reasons for viewing Islam as a static, unchanging and regressive force. The chapters illustrate the diversity of societies with Muslim majority populations and challenge the dominant paradigm of what has become to be known since the War on Terror as "Islamophobia."
