Description
Summary:BenMoshe does present a topic that requires further study, with a more detailed understanding of some of the underlying causes that marginalize both minorities, Jews and Muslims alike. Since the book's publication in the spring of 2015, profound political changes have taken place in a number of Western democracies that will provide ample evidence for the authors to test their hypothesis on a larger sample of data. Elections in Western Europe, especially in France, will provide an opportunity to assess whether these events are an anomaly to the development of liberal democracies into a more globalized system, or will they continue to force countries to become increasingly isolationist, looking largely inwards? [...]the studies presented by Andre and Pratt are essential in understanding how the rise of demagogy in the context of the alienation of Muslims in Europe may create further political pressures in the future.
