Reviews

`This book is a useful contribution to the increasing literature on Islamic finance. . . Although the progress of Islamic banking has been painfully slow in Europe, it is worth observing that the experience compares favourably with North America, where Islamic banking is even more limited, or the non-Muslim majority countries of Asia, notably India and China, where Islamic banking is regarded with extreme scepticism. There may be lessons that those in other parts of the world can learn from Europe's experience of Islamic banking, limited as it is.' -- Rodney Wilson, Journal of Economics Literature `A thought provoking and scholarly compendium of essays on various important aspects of Islamic finance. The book is wider ranging than its title suggests; the key chapters do focus on the EU, but there are broader and particularly interesting topics including women and Islam and financial stability and development in the context of Islam. Overall a solid assessment of the progress Islamic finance has made in Europe.' -- John Presley, Loughborough University, UK
