BOOK REVIEW: EUROPEAN STATES AND THEIR MUSLIM CITIZENS: THE IMPACT OF INSTITUTIONS ON PERCEPTIONS AND BOUNDARIES

In the context of Islamophobia, a word which goes viral after the September 11 tragedy, this book adds another scholarly work on how Muslims fared in the twentieth century Europe. The buzz word indicating anti-Islam rhetoric has become contagious particularly after the Runnymede Trust Report (1997) which resulted in many Muslims fearing for their lives. Post September 11 popularises such rhetoric. For various reasons, religion and race have indeed been the targets in this challenging civilised world.
