BRUSSELS - With its large Islamic population, the majority of whom are of Moroccan descent, Brussels has become the capital of Islam in Europe.

Who are these Muslims and how do they profess Islam in Brussels? Has Brussels become a greenhouse for Islamism in continental Europe? Be that as it may, the influence of the European Muslim Brothers cannot be denied, the increasing Shiitisation is a fact. More importantly, however, the call for a commitment to 'pure Islam', a literal interpretation of the teachings of Islam and a return to the way of life of the Prophet Muhammad has never been stronger. The policy of Islamisation pursued by the Gulf states is of paramount importance...

This book could not be more timely. It offers an exceptional and penetrating view of Islam and the radicalisation of Moroccan Muslims in Brussels.
