Faith, Power and Territory: A handbook of British Islam

Islam is not only a faith but also seeks to be a political and territorial power.  How is this being expressed in the UK?  Will there be assimilation or separation?  This book has been written to provide an easy-to-use resource to help readers understand Islam in Britain today, the way in which Islam is developing, and Islam's influence on the country.  It asks penetrating questions about the way in which the Muslim communities in the UK may develop in the future and how British authorities and institutions appear to be yielding to the process of Islmisation.

Dr. Sookhdeo sets out to raise awareness of among the general public in Britain of key issues relating to the relationship between British Islam and the state.  the handbook is intended to provide a framework of basic information on certain aspects of the Muslim community in the UK including the issues, controversies, rhetoric and debates which engage both Muslims and non-Muslims.

An invaluable resource book for all who are interested in learning more about the important subject of Islam in Britain. - Baroness Caroline Cox
