Drawing on original archival research, it reveals that people from across the range of social classes defied convention by choosing Islam in this period. Through a series of case studies of influential converts and pioneering Muslim communities, Loyal Enemies considers how the culture of Empire and imperialism influenced and affected their conversions and subsequent lives, before examining how they adapted and sustained their faith. Jamie Gilham shows that, although the overall number of converts was small, conversion to Islam aroused hostile reactions locally and nationally. He therefore also probes the roots of antipathy towards Islam and Muslims, identifies their manifestations and explores what conversion entailed socially and culturally. He also considers whether there was any substance to persistent allegations that converts had "divided" loyalties between the British Crown and a Muslim ruler, country or community. Loyal Enemies is a book about the past, but its core themes--about faith and belief, identity, Empire, loyalties and discrimination-- are still salient today"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"First account of the history and remarkable lives of British converts to Islam during the heydey of Empire"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMuslim converts from Christianity$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aMuslims$zGreat Britain$vBiography 615 0$aMuslim converts from Christianity 615 0$aMuslims 676 $a297.092/241 686 $aSOC048000$aHIS015000$aREL037010$2bisacsh 700 $aGilham$b Jamie$01675940 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808908003321 996 $aLoyal enemies$94041762 997 $aUNINA
