“Islam in Europe: A Wildfire in Old, Dry Bushes” offers an overview of the Islamic subculture that has emerged in European societies over the past several decades and its repercussions on the political arena and social frameworks in Europe. It highlights governments’ responses and measures that have been taken to integrate migrants into European societies and how many of these measures have gone awry, resulting in pernicious effects and creating fertile ground for radical Islamists to take advantage of the situation and try to radicalize secluded minorities.
Muslim immigrants in Europe are the focus of political and social debates nowadays and have been for quite a while, and many view Islam as a threat to European values and traditions. Fundamental Islam is certainly a challenge to Europe’s multicultural concept. It is a challenge to European traditions, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, and other cultural values. But how did this all start? How has Europe come to accommodate a cultural burden that is reshaping its politics and cultural frameworks? This book offers a significant part of the answer to these questions.
