    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the highlights of several conferences on Islamic studies in Great Britain in 2008. The conference entitled "The State of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Western Universities" emphasized the need to avoid the politicisation of Islamic studies. The "Islam on Campus: Teaching Islam in Higher Education" conference tackled the notion that Islamic studies teaching in British colleges was encouraging Islamic extremism.
