- Title
British Muslims: Within and between Islam and the West.
- Authors
MODOOD, TARIQ
- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights regarding Muslims in Western countries in which South Asian Muslims in Great Britain were the most deprived group as defined by ethnicity and race. The author says that unemployment and poverty led Muslims to participate against political activism and racial discrimination. The author notes that Muslims demand for parity with native religions, positive inclusion of religious groups, and protection against religious discrimination. The September 11, 2011 terrorists attacks and the campaign against the novel of Salman Rushdie "The Satanic Verses" depicted the vulnerability and hostility of British Muslims. Moreover, the author adds that anti-Muslim racism or Islamophobia was one of the most prominent cultural and colour racisms in Great Britain.
