- Title
Islam in European Publics: Secularism and Religious Difference.
- Authors
Göle, Nilüfer
- Abstract
This essay reports on secularism and religious differences among Muslims and Europeans. Public debates focusing on the presence of Muslims in Europe has been raised when the new generations of migrant Muslims make religious claims, and when Turkish claims for membership in the European Union. New generation Muslims claim their religious difference as a source of self-affirmation, social distinction and cultural confrontation with the European values of self and democracy. The confrontation between Islam and the West becomes a confrontation between two different cultural values and orientations toward modernity.
