Review:
The Yearbook of Muslims in Europe fills an important gap in the study of Muslims in Europe by providing relevant data and analysis of issues pertaining to Muslims in various European nations. As such, it provides a valuable reference tool for anyone who wishes to study Islam in Europe in a serious manner. (...) All in all, this is an outstanding volume, highly recommended to reference libraries and researchers. - Ermin Sinanovic in Religion and Politics, Volume 4 (2011), Issue 3
..".this first [Yearbook] has made an excellent start and will quickly prove its worth to scholars, students, commentators and policy-makers."
