Rezensionen

'An incredibly important book. The current plague of anti-Muslim prejudice is due, in large part, to a lack of information about the diversity and lived realities of Muslim communities. This insightful volume confronts that reality with nuance and context. A must-read.'
Nathan Lean, author of The Islamophobia Industry

'A sharp and clear observation on the state of affairs of Muslims in Europe today. The book provides a detailed, analytical and insightful account of the challenges and opportunities faced by secular states and the Muslim community. A highly valuable contribution.'
Tahir Abbas, Royal United Services Institute

'A beautiful, rigorous, intelligent, sensitive and courageous book. It must be read.'
Sonia Dayan-Herzbrun, La Quinzaine littéraire

'A boundary-crossing, original book. It gives a fresh take on the everyday and the quotidian, which informs our ways of seeing cities and societies. It also fulfils the promise of its title by illuminating the unsensational within lives that have been sensationalised beyond recognition.'
Richard Phillips, University of Sheffield

'This is a very recommended book!'
Muslim World Books Review

'The Daily Lives of Muslims sheds light on the sincere desire among the majority of Muslims to play a constructive political and social role in their respective countries.'
