About the Book

In Exploring the Multitude of Muslims in Europe a number of friends and colleagues of Jørgen S. Nielsen have joined together to celebrate his life and work by reflecting his more than forty years of scholarly contributions to the study of Islam and Muslims in Europe. The fourteen articles move through conceptualisations, productions and explorations of the multitudes of Muslims in Europe, and the authors draw on Jørgen S. Nielsen’s own work on the history and challenges of the Muslim community in Europe, critical thinking, ethnicities and theologies of Muslims in Europe, Muslim minorities, Muslim-Christian relations, and on Islamic legal challenges in Europe. Contributors are: Samim Akgönül, Ahmet Alibašić, Naveed Baig, Safet Bektovic, Mohammed Hashas, Thomas Hoffmann, Hans Raun Iversen, Göran Larsson, Werner Menski, Egdūnas Račius, Lissi Rasmussen, Mathias Rohe, Emil B. H. Saggau, Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen, Thijl Sunier, and Niels Valdemar Vinding.

Review :
“This collection of articles is a fitting tribute to a scholar who has set the standard and ‘defined the field’ of research on Muslim communities in Europe. For those who have studied under, worked with, or benefited from, Jørgen S. Nielsen’s personal commitment to and academic pursuits of accurate descriptions and understandings of the various Muslim communities in Europe, this volume will not disappoint. It demonstrates how indebted many of us are to the work of Jørgen S. Nielsen.” David D. Grafton, Hartford Seminary, The Duncan Black Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations “Jørgen S. Nielsen is rightfully acknowledged as a pioneer of the Muslims in Europe research, continuously authoring prolific texts. Whilst celebrating Nielsen’s research legacy, this collection of articles from some of the leading scholars in the field also contributes with vital and intriguing perspectives on Muslims in Europe.” Jonas Otterbeck, professor of Islamic Studies, Lund University
