Reviews

‘As an NGO representative and political activist, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Articles by eminent scholars who are well versed in the western traditions as well as eastern values, deal with many sensitive issues, such as: the identity of Muslims in the West, integration processes, education and faith and the challenges of terrorism, violence against civilians and the benefits of intercultural living. The message is clear: science and faith are not confrontational, a true inter-religious society is the need of the hour and Muslim communities are an integral part of the West.' -- Bashy Quraishy, Secretary General for EMISCO - European Muslim Initiative for Social Cohesion, Strasbourg and Chair of the Advisory Council of the European Network Against Racism, Brussels A welcome and timely publication...one text that I would recommend people to read cover to cover. -- Ian G.
