Voices of Islam in Europe and Southeast Asia

Abstract

The 'central and most dangerous dimension of the emerging global politics' revolves around 'civilizational identities', warned political scientist and former US State Department adviser Samuel Huntington in his seminal article in Foreign Affairs. 'The fault lines between civilisations are replacing the political and ideological boundaries of the Cold War as the flashpoints for crisis and bloodshed.'
