Europe sees itself as embodying the ideals of modernity, especially in relation to democracy and the respect for human rights. Faced on the one hand with the need for public recognition of a new population of Muslim identity, and the threat of violent radicalization on the other, Europe is falling prey to the politics of fear and is tempted to compromise on its professed ideals. Reflecting on the manifestations and causes of the contemporary fear of Islam gaining ground in contemporary Europe, as well as on the factors contributing to the radicalization of some Muslims, (Il)liberal Europe: Islamophobia, Modernity and Radicalization offers a diversity of perspectives on both the challenges to social cohesion, and the danger of Islamophobia encouraging a spiral of co-radicalization. Combining empirical studies of several European countries with a comparative account of India and Europe, the book analyzes vital issues such as secularity, domophilia, de-politicization, neo-nationalism, the European unification project and more. Spanning a variety of disciplinary approaches, the volume offers novel insights into the complex landscape of identity politics in contemporary Europe to widen the scope of intellectual inquiry. This book was originally published as a special issue of Politics, Religion & Ideology.

"(Il)Liberal Europe’s main contribution resides in unraveling the paradox of a usually apprehended liberal Europe turning illiberal in relation to how European policymakers think and address Muslims... The novelty of Doyle and Ahmad’s volume, however, resides in combining empirically informed theoretical discussions with rich empirical cases outlining Europe’s reaction to the problematization of Islam and Muslims." - Luis Manuel Hernández Aguilar, Politics, Religion and Ideology 19(3)
