"Europe: Uncomfortable with Muslim Turkey
Subhash Chopra
Immigration and the settlement of new arrivals in any society or country always throws up umpteen difficulties, which sometimes turn into substantial problems. Europe has been facing such problems for quite some time now. Some of them have their roots in the old race- or colour-related issues while others are of more recent origin. The emergence of difficulties related to the Islamic faith appears to be among the latter category and, unfortunately, these seem to be getting worse. The sixth anniversary of the events of 11 September 2001 on the U.S. mainland has just been marked with promises of more determined battles. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, al-Qaeda's unremitting profile, and the cartoons controversy have aggravated the disequilibrium of emotions between the native and immigrant communities."
