The politics of inclusion is about more than hate, exclusion, and discrimination. It is a window into the moral character of contemporary liberal cracies. The Struggle for Inclusion introduces a new method to the study of public opinion: to probe, step by step, how far non-Muslim majorities are willing to be inclusive, where they draw the line, and why they draw it there and not elsewhere. Those committed to liberal cratic values and their concerns are the focus, not those advocating exclusion and intolerance.

Notwithstanding the turbulence and violence of the last decade over issues of immigration and of Muslims in the West, the results of this study nstrate that the largest number of citizens in contemporary liberal cracies are more open to inclusion of Muslims than has been recognized. Not less important, the book reveals limits on inclusion that follow from the friction between liberal cratic values. This pioneering work thus brings to light both pathways to progress and polarization traps.
