Although Muslims are now an important presence in Europe, little is known about the Muslim communities that exist in the Nordic and Baltic regions of northern Europe. This is the first comprehensive and detailed study of the history, context and development of Islamic institutions and Muslim groups in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland and includes chapters on Muslims in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Iceland and the Faroe Island, the first studies of their kind. Based on original research by academics with long experience of the Muslim communities in question, the volume presents new and important perspectives. Chapters are presented in a comparative and regional framework, and the volume is an important reference work for all researchers and scholars interested in the history and development of Islam and Muslim communities at the strategic heart of Northern Europe.
