Klappentext

A large portion of Britain's Muslims are not assimilating to a high standard of liberal values. Beliefs that many consider 'extremist' are in fact surprisingly common. As the Muslim minority grows in share of Europe's population the situation in society will either become more peaceful, or it will become more violent. This book contends that at present the West is headed toward increasing violence. McDonald argues there is a Multicultural Paradox amongst political, civic, and religious leadership preventing them from responding to degenerate beliefs and visions for the future. Led by its vibrant and diverse capitol Britain must step forward to reframe this problem from one of religion to one of values. Peace will come only by rooting laws, policies, and the bounds of cultural tolerance in the values of freedom. This book will be valuable to Muslims and non- Muslims alike as they confront the challenge of remaining open to faith while protecting the nonnegotiable position of liberal policies as the only viable root of free society.
