And we all know where in Europe Jews made the most effort towards assimilation and how things turned out there don't we? (Germany/Austria)
All of this is depressing enough, but the debate on European Muslims – and not just among far-right politicians – has taken on even darker undertones. The accusations of Muslims being permanent outsiders are a new version of what was once said about Europe’s Jews. “Now it is the Muslims who are accused of not fitting in, who have become ‘the other’ to Europe,” agrees Farid Hafez, the Austrian political scientist. “It is like we are Europe’s new Jews,” the human rights activist Shaza Alrihawi, who lives in Germany, tells me.
