The book is about Terrorism, Islamophobia, Islamic Revival and Euro-Mediterranean Dialogue in Multi-Cultural Europe. It discusses Islamic revival in all its forms (traditional, reformist and militant) while it further explores historically how it had developed and emerged. It also searches Islamophobia and how it had further developed especially after the 9/11 terror attacks and their aftermath and impact. The focus is further dedicated to the causes of terrorism in general and in France as an example due to her current situation and for being lately a theatre for both terrorist acts and Islamophobia. Then, discussion follows with examples like the Charlie Hebdo massacres and their controversy as well as impact, the Chechen separatists versus Russia, the Pakistan Taliban versus Pakistan, Al Shabaab in Somalia versus the Somali failed state, Kenya and other allies alongside others.
