Today there are at least 15 million people in Western Europe who adhere to the Muslim faith or have close cultural or other affiliations with the Islamic world‎.‎ Indeed‎,‎ in the course of a few decades‎,‎ Islam has emerged as Europe‎'‎s second religion‎,‎ after Christianity‎.‎ What is remarkable about this phenomenon is that it has occurred gradually‎,‎ generally peacefully‎,‎ and‎,‎ in some measure‎,‎ as a consequence of the economic needs of European countries‎.‎ Despite some difficulties‎,‎ Islam is slowly but inexorably becoming part of Europe‎'‎s social‎,‎ cultural‎,‎ and‎,‎ to some degree‎,‎ political landscape‎.‎ The question today is not can Islam be uprooted and expelled from European soil‎,‎ as was done six centuries ago during the period of Reconquista in Spain‎,‎ but rather what is the best way of accommodating Islam in Europe and establishing cooperative relations between Muslims and the followers of other religious and/or secular value systems‎.‎ This volume examines the situation and attempts to provide answers to these questions through a country‎-by‎-country analysis by recognized experts from each of the Western European nations examined‎.‎ An invaluable resource and text for scholars‎,‎ students‎,‎ and other researchers involved with Islamic and European Studies‎.‎
