This invaluable research is of relevance to not only those interested in the world of religions and religious education but also those interested in understanding the dynamics of Muslims and Islam in the West. —Professor Jenny Berglund, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences Education, Stockholm University Islam is the fastest growing religion in Ireland.
