Time for Europe to Embrace Diversity | |
By AMANDA PAUL
The recent tragic events in Norway have acted as a powerful reminder that no country may claim to be safe from terror and will hopefully prompt an urgent debate on our common challenge: countering xenophobia, intolerance and violent extremism.
All corners of Europe -- from Moscow to Paris -- need to face up to the fact that we have a serious problem on our hands and begin to take serious steps to tackle it. In many parts of Europe, including my own country, the UK, it has unfortunately become almost socially acceptable to be anti-Muslim, with Muslims usually being put into two categories: moderate or extremist.
