Muslims in Western Europe
A useful introduction to the social, political, cultural and religious position of Muslims living in contemporary Europe. It describes the history of early European Muslims and outlines the causes and courses of twentieth-century Muslim immigration. Explaining how Muslim communities have developed in individual countries, the book examines their origins, their present day ethnic composition, distribution and organisational patterns, and the political, legal and cultural contexts in which they exist. It also provides a comparative consideration of issues common to Muslims in all Western European countries, namely the role of the family, and the questions of worship, education and religious th...

Islam in Denmark
Little has been published in English about Islam in Denmark although interest grew after the cartoons crisis of 2005-6. Danish research on the subject is extensive, and this volume aims to present some of the most recent to an international audience. While many of the circumstances which apply across western Europe -- the history of immigration and refugees, settlement, the growth of Muslim organizations and international links, challenges of social and cultural encounter, and more recently Islam as a security issue -- also apply in Denmark, there are also differences. A small, compact country with no recent imperial history, Denmark's unified institutional, religious and social culture can ...
Muslim Political Participation in Europe
To what extent are Muslims in Europe integrated? Muslims are increasingly making themselves noticed in the political process of Europe. But what is happening behind the often sensational headlines? This book 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. It also asks how political participation and wider integration issues interrelate and considers how Muslims - as ethnic groups, or through specific institutions - seek to locate themselves within European political society.

Offerbål
Den unge pige Elses livsglæde snøres sammen og kvæles under Indre Missions strenge krav om syndserkendelse og omvendelse, som hun ikke formår at rette sig efter trods ihærdige forsøg. Else kommer under indflydelse af en sadistisk og hyklerisk missionær, der styrker hendes frygt for ikke at opnå den frelse, som hun så desperat søger. Da hun møder den varme og kærlige verdensmand Rudolf, finder hun et modstykke til Indre Mission og en person, der kan slippe hendes livsglæde fri. Men kirken har endnu et forfærdeligt greb om hendes bevidsthed, og et opgør mellem de to sider af hendes personlighed lader sig ikke undgå. Jørgen Nielsen, 1902-1945, dansk forfatter. Han blev født i meget små kår på et midtjysk husmandssted, i et hjem stærkt præget af et indremissionsk sortsyn. Flyttede senere til København for at realisere drømmen om at blive forfatter. Trods hurtig succes med dette levede han ofte i fattigdom. Desuden led han af fobier og forfølgelsesvanvid, og i de sidste 8-9 år af sit liv isolerede han sig mere og mere, indtil han tog sit eget liv.
Muslims in Western Politics
Looking closely at relations between Muslims and their host countries, Abdulkader H. Sinno and an international group of scholars examine questions of political representation, identity politics, civil liberties, immigration, and security issues. While many have problematized Muslims in the West, this volume takes a unique stance by viewing Muslims as a normative, and even positive, influence in Western politics. Squarely political and transatlantic in scope, the essays in this collected work focus on Islam and Muslim citizens in Europe and the Americas since 9/11, the European bombings, and the recent riots in France. Main topics include Muslim political participation and activism, perceptions about Islam and politics, Western attitudes about Muslim visibility in the political arena, radicalization of Muslims in an age of apparent shrinking of civil liberties, and personal security in politically uneasy times.
