Feminist accounts usually state that the control of women and their sexuality has been central to national community building in the Muslim world, while, at the same time, women have been relegated to the margins of the polity. In Europe, the condition of Muslim women is also instrumentalized – not because Muslim women cannot be defined as mothers of nations and used as legitimate icons of national advancement, but because their history and social condition is embedded in the history of Muslim immigration in Western Europe. This immigration has two major characteristics: it is postwar and it is postcolonial.
