This book addresses tensions and violence involving people from minority groups of Muslim culture in Europe. It contains six country studies on Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Russia and the UK. It addresses societal tensions that are flowing from two different sources: the broad and relatively soft issues of social and economic disadvantage and discrimination affecting Muslim groups, and the narrowly concentrated but very hard issues of terrorist violence. In analyzing the nature of violent conflict between various social groups, the authors of the individual chapters employ a common matrix on the typology of violence.
