Description: Muslims are making themselves noticed in the political process of Europe. But what is happening behind the headlines? Jürgen Nielsen looks at the processes and realities, from voting patterns in local and national assemblies to the tensions between ethnic, political and religious identities. These developments drive internal Muslim debates including whether Muslims should take part in the democratic process at all, and rivalries over who should represent Muslims.
