The representation of Islam is unquestionably a critical test for
comparing journalistic reporting across countries and cultures. The
Islamic religion has weight in international reporting (defining what we
termed “foreign Islam”), but it is also the religion of numerically
important minority groups residing in Europe (“national Islam”). The
first part of the book is “setting the scene.” Three chapters provide
insights in dominant patterns of the representation of Islam as detected
by various authors and studies involved with Islam representation in
Europe. Part two, the core section of the book, contributes to the
development of the field of comparative journalism studies by comparing
several countries and six media systems in Western Europe: the
Dutch-speaking part of Belgium (Flanders), the French-speaking part of
Belgium (Wallonia), the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the U.K. Part
three of this book presents two reception studies, one qualitative and
the other quantitative. Equally important, as the bulk of attention goes
to Western Europe, is the extension towards the representation of
Muslims and Islam outside Western Europe. Part four of the book is
devoted to the representation of Islam in some of the so-called
BRICs-countries: Russia, China, and India.
