Hoe de islam zich in Nederland ontwikkelt , lijkt in nevelen gehuld. Is er sprake van een verdergaande radicalisering of winnen juist liberale vormen van islam terrein? De vraag is ook of en in welke mate de ontwikkelingen beïnvloed of zelfs 'gestuurd' worden door de islam in de landen waar de eerste generatie moslims in Nederland vandaan komt. Ook is het geen uitgemaakte zaak hoe de overheid zich moet opstellen ten opzichte van de islam en moslims en hun organisaties. En hoe de media daarover dienen te berichten.Er hangt dus mist in de polder. Deze bundel wil de complexe ontwikkelingen omtren

"This book focuses on the development of bilateral Jewish-Muslim relations in London and Amsterdam since the late-1980s. It offers a comparative analysis that considers both similarities and differences, drawing on historical, social scientific and religious studies perspectives. The authors address how Jewish-Muslim relations are related to the historical and contemporary context in which they are embedded, the social identity strategies Jews and Muslims and their institutions employ, and their perceived mutual positions in terms of identity and power. The first section reflects on the history and current profile of Jewish and Muslim communities in London and Amsterdam and the development of relations between Jews and Muslims in both cities. The second section engages with sources of conflict and cooperation. Four specific areas that cause tension are explored: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; antisemitism and Islamophobia; attacks by extremists; and the commemoration of wars and genocides. In addition to 'trigger events', what stands out is the influence of historical factors, public opinion, the 'mainstream' Christian churches and the media, along with the role of government. The volume will be of interest to scholars from fields including religious studies, interfaith studies, Jewish studies, Islamic studies, urban studies, European studies and social sciences as well as members of the communities concerned, other religious communities, journalists, politicians, and teachers who are interested in Jewish-Muslim relations"--
