"A remarkable book: articulate, original, lucid, without a paragraph that fails to contain an interesting thought." — Claire Belinski, New York Sun

"[A] valuable little monograph." — Martin Levin, Globe & Mail

"Roy provides a useful corrective to the interpretation of Islamism." — John Gray, Harper’s

"Secularism Confronts Islam is an extraordinary book. Important reading for all of those interested in the intersections of religion and politics." — Amir Hussain, author of Oil and Water: Two Faiths, One God

"Olivier Roy's thoughtful and erudite analysis of European Islam is an essential antidote to the fearmongering that makes the world a more dangerous place. Roy's voice is critical, as well as humane. Too wise to fall for easy pessimism, or naive optimism, Roy offers the most valuable thing of all: a deeper understanding." — Ian Buruma, author of Murder in Amsterdam: The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance
