Europe and the Islamic world have shared a long and conflicted history. From the Middle Ages to the global War on Terror, the image of two civilizations perpetually at war has endured. However, a closer look at the past suggests this was not always the case. Muslim Europe follows the lives of imperialists, journalists, and Muslim activists who attempted to challenge the idea of two opposing civilizations locked in eternal conflict. Rich in detail, it tells the stories of English officials who once declared Britain the greatest "Muslim power" on the face of the earth and recounts the extraordinary political campaign that saw a French Muslim elected to the National Assembly against all odds. The "age of empire" brought Islam into European public life like never-before, inspiring Muslims on the continent to take to the press and mount political movements guided by desires for greater social recognition. In chronicling the forgotten history of Europe's early Muslim communities across empires, Muslim Europe proposes a new history for Europe, highlighting the contributions made by Muslim subjects and citizens in search of a more just and tolerant society.
