"This book is a refreshing and challenging attempt to reconcile the controversial area of wider contemporary debates on the integration of Muslim youth into secular western European countries. In that vein, this book talks to policy-makers as well as academics in the field to gauge and understand the delicate and fragile nature of identity and how particularly the religious component becomes more salient and political in a complex post-modern globalized world."
