| Σύνοψη: | "Taking a close and critical look at Muslim practice and Islamic belief within the prevailing legal and political frameworks in Europe, this book focuses on constitutional challenges, religious freedom and other human rights, and securitisation and Islamophobia"-- "For centuries, since the Roman Empire's adoption of Christianity, the continent of Europe has been perceived as something of a Christian fortress. Today, the increase in the number of Muslims living in Europe and the prominence of Islamic belief pose questions not only for Europe's religious traditions but also for its constitutional make up. This book examines these challenges within the legal and political framework of Europe. The volume's contributors range from academics at leading universities to former judges and politicians. Its19 chapters focus on constitutional challenges, human rights with a focus on religious freedom, and securitisation and Islamophobia, while adopting supranational and comparative approaches.
