In \u003ci\u003eThe Muslim Question in Europe, \u003c\/i\u003ePeter O'Brien challenges the popular notion that the hostilities concerning immigration--which continues to provoke debates about citizenship, headscarves, secularism, and terrorism--are a clash between \"Islam and the West.\" Rather, he explains, the vehement controversies surrounding European Muslims are better understood as persistent, unresolved \u003ci\u003eintra-European\u003c\/i\u003e tensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO'Brien contends that the best way to understand the politics of state accommodation of European Muslims is through the lens of three competing political ideologies: liberalism, nationalism, and postmodernism. These three broadly understood philosophical traditions represent the most influential normative forces in the politics of immigration in Europe today. He concludes that Muslim Europeans do not represent a monolithic anti-Western bloc within Europe. Although they vehemently disagree among themselves, it is along the same basic liberal, nationalist, and postmodern contours as non-Muslim Europeans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter O'Brien \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Political Science at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
