Muslims and the State in Britain, France, and Germany

by Joel S. Fetzer, J. Christopher Soper

European governments must struggle with assimilating Muslim newcomers into their countries, with so many more now living in Western Europe. Britain, France, and Germany have dealt with the related problems differently. This book explains why their policies differ and proposes ways of ensuring the successful incorporation of practicing Muslims into liberal democracies. Resolving their issues has become all the more urgent in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

An overall examination of the situation of religious rights in three major European countries. Some could call it biased towards extensions of undue privileges to the religious people, but it actually dispels a myth of 'extremist atheist denying rights to religious' - the core of those, opposed to equal worship are in fact orthodox believers.
