 This book approaches the field of political Islam from a European security perspective. Including various case studies and country surveys written by respected experts in the field, it offers a comparative perspective and a comprehensive overview of the ideology and prevalence of political Islam and its actors in more than 20 European countries.
 The respective contributions identify key actors of political Islam and reveal the activities, means and strategies they pursue and employ across the continent. They also discuss whether and how political Islam can undermine the Western liberal democratic order and the values associated with it.
 In doing so, the volume offers approaches to analyze political Islam and thereby strengthen the resilience of liberal democratic societies, while protecting Muslims from the radical ideology and agenda of political Islam.
