Description for Muslims in Scotland: The Making of Community in a Post-9/11 World
Paperback. .
The experience of being a Muslim in Scotland today is shaped by the global and national post-9/11 shift in public attitudes towards Muslims, and is infused by the particular social, cultural and political Scottish ways of dealing with minorities, diversity and integration. This book explores the settlement and development of Muslim communities in Scotland, highlighting the ongoing changes in their structure and the move towards a Scottish experience of being Muslim. This experience combines a sense of civic and social belonging to Scotland with a strong religious and ideological commitment to Islam.

Reviews for Muslims in Scotland: The Making of Community in a Post-9/11 World
This up-to-date analysis rests on a historical and demographic foundation. Its account of the Muslims of Scotland and their experiences, often so different from the rest of the UK, is a welcome addition to the literature on Muslims in Europe.
Professor J rgen S. Nielsen, University of Birmingham This is an important, fresh and pioneering study of the Muslim community in Scotland. It should be required reading for policy makers and academics as well as all those interested in the changing social shape of Scotland today.
Professor Sir Tom Devine, University of Edinburgh Muslims in Scotland highlights the distinctive features of both Scottish identity and Scotland's Muslim communities, demonstrating the relatively benign relationship between the two, in contrast to the situation in some other parts of the UK and Europe.
Professor Hugh Goddard, University of Edinburgh In a world riven by ethnic and religious conflict, Stefano Bonino's 'Muslims in Scotland' gives us a convincing, fascinating, and inspiring example of how an indigenous society can live in harmony with immigrant communities. It should be compulsory reading for those concerned about the future of our world.
Professor Akbar Ahmed, American University (Washington, DC) and formerly Pakistan's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom There is much to engross and engage a diverse readership...I am confident that 'Muslims in Scotland' will make both a lasting impression on those who read it, and in the various academic disciplines to which its important findings speak.
Colin Atkinson, Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism With the unfolding Brexit, the situation of Muslims in the strongly pro-European Scotland will be particularly interesting to follow. Bonino's book is not only a very good introductory text to processes within Muslim communities in Scotland but also an important supplementary reading to the existing literature on Islam in Britain and wider Europe. Without these types of books, it is impossible today to understand superdiverse European societies and the important role played in them by Muslim European citizens.
