Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Offering a vital, critical contribution to discussions on current perspectives, practices, and assumptions on Islamic Education, this book explores the topic through a wide range of diverse perspectives and experiences. This volume challenges current assumptions around what is known as Islamic education, and examines issues around educational leadership based on Islamic principles to confront xenophobia and Islamophobia in educational systems, policies and practices. Arguing for a new term to enter the discourse - 'Islamic-based' educational leadership - chapters approach the issue through critical reflexivity and diverse perspectives, addressing issues such as the higher education of immigrant students in the globe and the rising tensions in Muslim and non-Muslim populations.
