It is a perfect work. The author's comprehensive knowledge of theoretical and empirical material and data regarding political Islam, Turkey, Islam in Turkey, Germany, radical Islam, Muslims in Europe, etc., is very impressive.

This study provides us with compelling explanations about the interactions between the Turkish state and the Turkish diaspora in Europe, particularly in Germany. The use of sources is impeccable, and the utilization of sources published in Turkey in the Turkish language is particularly striking.

The author clearly demonstrates the future role of Turkish Sunni Islam in the geographical complex of the European Union.
