The Islamic Presence in Europe and Its Future: RCD Releases New Study on Orientalist Perspectives
The book posits that the presence of Muslims in Europe has long been a source of anxiety for Western thought. It examines how a significant number of Orientalists and European writers have approached this phenomenon, often with a confused or fearful narrative, sometimes characterizing it as the "Islamic Peril."
The volume is divided into three chapters that trace the trajectory of this relationship:
1. Historical Roots: An exploration of the deep historical ties and conflicts between Europe and Islam.
2. The 20th Century Context: Analyzing the Islamic presence in Europe during the 20th century and how it reshaped Orientalist literature.
3. Future Projections: A forward-looking analysis of the future of Islam in Europe, focusing on Muslim population growth and geographic distribution.
