Description:
This book explores the channels through which Islamic fundamentalism has spread among Muslim populations in the Balkans since the fall of communism
Review Quotes: "This volume shows that the Muslim communities in the Western Balkans are facing an intense propaganda of a radical Islam and the incitement of hatred and various interreligious divisions, aiming to indoctrinate moderate and tolerant Balkan Muslims. Kosovar youth, for instance, are threatened with a very radical ideology that according to the Kosovar imams trained in different fundamentalist madrassas in the Middle East, 'should influence the creation of a type of the new Muslim believer, ' who does not know its historical past, nor its national identity or the values of democracy, but only the 'Islamic' values propagated through Salafism." -Kolë Krasniqi, University "Haxhi Zeka" in Peja, Kosovo
