Looks at the processes and realities of Muslim participation in local and national politics in a range of Eastern and Western European countries: voting patterns in local and national assemblies, membership of elected councils and national parliaments, and the tensions between ethnic, political and religious identities.
In recent years there has been much talk of a clash between the Muslim world and Christendom, most of it superficial and media-driven. There has also been a recent intellectual attempt to identify a new threat from Muslim fundamentalism. This work set out to explore the reality behind the myths.
