Since the beginning of the 1980s France has witnessed intensive preaching activity in Muslim quarters. Hitherto studies of Islamic preaching by the Muslim community that has settled in France for some decades has been rare. This book tries to bring out the significance of this phenomenon of reislamization and mobilisation of the Muslim community in France. It also analyses how the preaching of Islam is modified palpably as it evolves in the Western context.

This book provides a detailed analysis of the political arguments about the place of Muslims in contemporary France, and also discusses the ideas put forward by a range of Muslim thinkers. France has become the setting for one of the most important conflicts in the modern world. On the one hand, it possesses a rigidly organized, centralized state, whose bureaucrats and civil servants are animated by a code of secular activism. On the other hand, France is also the home for Europe's largest Muslim minority, variously estimated at numbering between four and six million people. This means that in terms of simple numbers, France can be counted as the world's fifteenth Islamic power. Previous conflicts with religion have left a deep impression on French political culture: from the sixteenth and seventeenth-century conflicts between Catholics and Protestants played to the formation of the collaborationist Vichy government in 1940. In recent decades, Muslims have been stigmatized as an irreconcilable minority unable to adapt to the secular culture of the majority of French citizens. This work draws out the political implications of the current conflict. It is based on events and publications produced in a single five year period, beginning with the shock of the 2002 Presidential elections, in which Le Pen was the second most successful candidate, ranging through the legislation of March 2004 which banned the Islamic headscarf from French state schools, and which sparked off a series of bad-tempered exchanges between left and right-wing French nationalists, anti-racism campaigners, secularists, anti-clericals and a variety of Muslim authors.

This volume of essays makes available the essential background information and methods for effective teaching and writing on cross-cultural history. The contributors--some of the most distinguished writers of global and comparative history--chart the advances in understanding in their fields of concentration, revealing both specific findings and broad patterns that have emerged. The cover image, "The Arrival of the Dutch at Patane," from Theodore de Bry, India Orientals, Part VIII (Frankfurt: W. Richteri, 1607) depicts the two key phases of global history that are covered by the essays. Muslim inhabitants of the town of Patane on the Malayan peninsula warily confront a Dutch landing party whose bearing suggests that it is engaged in yet another episode in the saga of European overseas exploration and discovery. The presence of the Muslims in Malaya reflects an earlier process of expansion that saw Islamic civilization spread from Spain and Morocco in the west to the Philippines in the east in the millennium between the 7th and 17th centuries. The Dutch came by sea to an area on the coastal and island fringes of Asia, the one zone where their warships gave them a decisive edge in this era. The citizens of Patane had good reason to distrust the European intruders, since the Portuguese who had preceded the Dutch had used force whenever possible to control the formerly peaceful trade in the region and often to persecute Muslim Peoples. Author note: Michael Adas is Abraham Voorhees Professor of History at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. He is currently editor of the American Historical Association's series on Global and Comparative History and co-editor of the Cambridge University Press series on "Studies in Comparative World History." He has published numerous articles and books, including most recently (with Peter Stearns and Stuart Schwartz) World Civilization: The Global Experience (1992) and Turbulent Passage: A Global History of the Twentieth Century (1993).

TOURS, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BATTLE IN HISTORYThis is not a history book!It is not unlikely that this book will get me killed and I would not dismiss the danger to its publishers. If you have the courage to print and distribute it, there is no doubt that it will be one of the all-time best sellers in the world today.Tours, the largest city in the Centre region of France, is the location of what was arguably the most significant battle in human history. Here, in 732, Charles "the Hammer" Martel stopped an invading army of sixty thousand Muslims cold. Martel slaughtered every one of them and left their "unholy "bones to rot as a testament to God and all who passed.Since the birth of the so-called prophet Mohammed in 471 AD, the crazed followers of Allah rampaged throughout the Middle East and invaded southern Europe in an attempt to lay waste to all Christian lands, murdering, pillaging and proselytizing. The spread of Islam throughout the Middle East was most certainly by and under the sword. The Egyptians were obviously not Arabs or Muslims until the armies of Islam swept into their territories. Equally, in every country that fell under the murdering hands of the Muslims, the people of those countries were subjugated and slaughtered, forced to convert or die. Indeed, no one can argue that Islam is not a diseased cult spread by force staining human history with blood.The story I wrote is about Charles Martel and how he came to be there on that fateful day at Tours as the sole defender of the faith and all that stood against the Muslim onslaught that had penetrated so deeply into Europe.I argue that had not Martel been able to stop them, it is highly likely that today, all of us, the entire Christian world, would have likely been destroyed and forced to convert or die. The spires of the minarets would today have been in the thousands throughout Europe and even into the new world.It is highly probable that Islam would have retained a dominant position throughout the world just as they do today in all lands that have fallen under their obscene rule. With their seeming worship and devotion of and to ignorance, human civilization would have been stuck in the past. We would have had no modernization, no invention and no advancement- mankind today would still be living in the dark ages under the cruel eyes of the Mutawas (thought police) and vicious power hungry Ayatollahs. It would be centuries later, during the Ottoman Empire, that Islam again threatened Europe. It is important to note that Martel's victory at Tours, and his later campaigns, prevented invasion of Europe by the Muslim caliphate. Martel preserved and protected Christianity and Western civilization, as we know it. Gibbons called him "the paramount prince of his age." A strong argument can be made that Gibbons was entirely correct.The book describes the Battle of Tours as if it were happening today. it recreates the movements of the armies, the difficulties of provisioning such large numbers in those times and looks into the minds of the leaders and soldiers as they fought and died in that historic conflict. The book shows us the motivations of the mad Muslims who so desperately wanted to destroy western Christianity and delves into their reasoning then and now. Tours is important because it was the first time a western Christian Army had defeated the marauding Muslims and it set the stage for the retaliation that was to follow in the form of the Crusades. Both the crusades and the attacks into Europe by the Muslims that preceded them, laid the foundations for the humiliation, anger and hatred that motivates the attacks on the west by the Jihadists of today.The skein of history in those times is thin. The book does not rely on diaries and written accounts as one can in more recent battles...

Exploring the history and religious community of a group of Muslim Sufi mystics who came largely from socially marginal backgrounds in colonial French West Africa, this study shows the relationship between religious, social, and economic change in the region. It highlights the role that intellectuals - including not only elite men, but also women, slaves, and the poor - played in shaping social and cultural change and illuminates the specific religious ideas on which Muslims drew and the political contexts that gave their efforts meaning. In contrast to depictions that emphasize the importance of international networks and anti-modern reaction in twentieth-century Islamic reform, this book claims that, in West Africa, such movements were driven by local forces and constituted only the most recent round in a set of centuries-old debates about the best way for pious people to confront social injustice. It argues that traditional historical methods prevent an appreciation of Muslim intellectual history in Africa by misunderstanding the nature of information gathering during colonial rule and misconstruing the relationship between documents and oral history. -- Description from http://www.amazon.com (April 24, 2012).

Today about 85 per cent of the world population of Muslims live in areas outside the Arab world, and due to population growth, missionary endeavours and migration, the number of Muslims in these areas is rising rapidly. This volume presents the spread and character of Islam in many non-Arab countries, focusing particularly on the contemporary situation. The book deals with the great variety and complexity that characterize Islam outside the Arab world, with Sufism (the predominant form of Islam in most non-Arab Muslim countries), and with the growing significance of Islamism which challenges secularism and Sufi forms of Islam.

Islam is slowly becoming part of Europe's social, cultural, and, to some degree, political landscape. This work considers the best way of accommodating Islam in Europe and establishing cooperative relations between Muslims and the followers of other religious or secular value systems.
