Europe’s core cultural crisis is secular society versus European Islam

Evidence

The central cultural crisis of the New Europe is not European integration in national terms, but the relationship between secular society and the dynamic world of European Islam. As the Syrian-born German sociologist Basam Tibi noted decades ago, it is the struggle within Islam to become a modern religion, whether within the Islamic world or in the Islamic Diaspora in the West, that is central. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 928
