Journey into Europe: Islam, Immigration, and Identity by Amb. Akbar Ahmed

Please join Ambassador Akbar Ahmed as he discusses his new book, Journey into Europe: Islam, Immigration, and Identity. The fourth in a quartet of studies examining relations between the West and the Muslim world, Journey into Europe explores Islam in Europe and the place of Islam in European history and civilization on the basis of fieldwork spanning the length and breadth of the continent.

In reflecting on the book, Professor Lawrence Rosen of Princeton University writes, "Ahmed’s splendid blend of scholarship and reportage is unmatched in the literature." Professor Todd Green of Luther College, writing for the American Academy of Religion, calls the book "a masterpiece ... magisterial ... a tremendous and timely contribution."
