It is estimated that there are now up to one hundred thousand German converts{u2014}a number similar to that in France and the United Kingdom. What stands out about recent conversions is that they take place at a time when Islam is increasingly seen as contrary to European values. Being German, Becoming Muslim explores how Germans come to Islam within this antagonistic climate, how they manage to balance their love for Islam with their society{u2019}s fear of it, how they relate to immigrant Muslims, and how they shape debates about race, religion, and belonging in today{u2019}s Europe.
