This book argues that we have been too preoccupied with problems, not enough with solutions. It acknowledges but challenges what has come to be viewed as the 'Islamic problem' - the widespread perception or construction of Muslims as a troubled and troublesome minority - by asking what Muslims have to be hopeful about today, and how others might share this hope.Islam and politicsWestern countriesIslamic fundamentalismWestern countriesMuslimsWestern countriesPolitics and governmentSociologybicsscMuslim spaces.Islam and politicsIslamic fundamentalismMuslimsPolitics and government.Sociology942Phillips Richard1965-E7BCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910781085903321Muslim spaces of hope3828095UNINA
