Description
British Islam: A Guide to the Main Islamic Groups Active in Britain Today The Muslim community in Britain has grown significantly over the years, leading to the establishment of numerous mosques that often reflect the sectarian divisions prevalent in the wider Muslim world. Like many Christian denominations in Britain, these mosques are affiliated with broader networks, such as the Deobandi and Tablighi Jamaat movements from colonial India, or the Salafi groups inspired by Saudi Arabia's austere form of Islam. Inside Britain's Muslim communities, sectarian divides are often fiercely guarded by religious leaders. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the ideological differences, organisational structures, and international links of the main Islamic groups active in Britain today. It is the first volume to explore this complex topic in depth, offering valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand the diverse nature of British Islam. By examining the various affiliations and networks that shape Britain's Muslim communities, this book sheds light on a crucial aspect of modern British society.
