To Be a European Muslim addresses some of the fundamental issues born of the several million strong Muslim presence in Europe in our times. Based on a thorough study of Islamic sources, it seeks to answer basic questions about European Muslims' social, political, cultural, and legal integration.
Tariq Ramadan is recognized worldwide for his original scholarship. He is a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Oxford and was named byTime magazine as one of the one hundred innovators of the twenty-first century.
Is it possible to lead life as a practicing Muslim while "living together" in multi-faith, pluralistic European nation states?
