Islam and Education: the
manipulation and misrepresentation of a religion by Dr Lynn Revell is an
essential reading and much needed review of how Islam is taught and represented
through the current Religious Education (RE) curriculum in Great Britain.
Islam has had an increasing presence in British and European public life
through media and political narratives and events, especially in the last ten
years after the 9/11 and 7/7 terrorist attacks. In this context, it is
important to reflect on how current practices and strategies of RE engage with
and represent the realities of Islam in a global context and UK Muslims
communities.
