Featuring the work of more than 40 scholars from around the world, this is the comprehensive guide to Islamic movements in Europe, offering original, definitive perspectives on Muslims and Islam in Europe today. Essential reading for policy-makers, political commentators, and scholars.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
