In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in ācrisisā. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as ācontroversiesā - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam. Having ramifications in the social, cultural or political spaces, many have seen these controversies as accentuating the āproblemā of Muslims and Islam. Focusing on a number of these ācrisesā and ācontroversiesā, this book seeks to interrogate the theories of Islamophobia through the lens of a series of different ācrises and controversiesā that have involved - or have been perceived as involving - Muslims or Islam.
