| Zusammenfassung: | The twelve million Muslims living in western and eastern (non-CIS) Europe are confronted with the combined, localised effects of xenophobia, nationalism, an historical stigma attached to Islam and a contemporary fear of the 'global Islamic threat'.

This volume provides insights into these groups and activities, their histories, ideologies, organizations and modes of representation |
