Description: This book is the first systematic attempt to study the situation of European and American Muslims after 9/11, and to present a comprehensive analysis of their religious political and legal situations. Since 9/11, and particularly since the Madrid and London bombings of 2004 and 2005, the Muslim presence in Europe and the United States has become a major political concern. Many have raised questions regarding potential links between Western Muslims radical Islam and terrorism. Whatever the justification of such concerns it is insufficient to address the subject of Muslims in the West from an exclusively counter - terrorist perspective. Based on empirical studies of Muslims in the US and Western Europe this edited volume posits the situation of Muslim minorities in a broader reflection on the status of liberalism in Western foreign policies. It also explores the changes in immigration policies multiculturalism and secularism that have been shaped by the new international context of the war on terror . This book will be of great interest to students of Critical Security Studies Islamic Studies Sociology and Political Science in general. Jocelyne Cesari is an Associate at Harvard's Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the Center for European Studies teaching at Harvard Divinity School and the Government Department specializing in Islam and the Middle East.
