1 online resource (304 pages). Yükleyen compares five different forms of religious communities among Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands and Germany that represent a spectrum from moderate to revolutionary Islamic opinions. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, he finds that, despite differences in goals and beliefs, these communities play an intermediary role, negotiating between the social and religious needs of Muslims and the socioeconomic, legal, and political context of Europe. Yükleyen's rich ethnography shows that there is no single form of assimilated and privatized "European Islam" but rather Islamic communities and their interpretations and practices that localize Islam in Europe. Introduction: Islam, identity, and Muslim public life in Europe -- Turkish Islamic field -- Islamic authority and knowledge -- Islamic activism: reinterpreting Islam in practice -- State policies and Islam in Germany and the Netherlands -- Islamic organizations and Muslim integration -- The Kaplan community: a revolutionary form of Islam.
