Analysis Says European Fears Regarding Muslim Communities Appear Unfounded
Today's London Guardian, in a long article, reports that Europe's fear of the mass radicalization of its Muslim population now appears unfounded. Focusing on a recent Gallup poll, the article discusses Europe's fears earlier this decade of terrorism, a cultural "invasion," and high Muslim fertility rates. The Gallup poll shows a rejection of violence and increasing cultural integration in European Muslim communities. However the article points out that social and economic integration in Europe has been less successful.
