      The Future of the Gulf Region
    • Der Autor zeigt zunächst mit den frei verfügbaren Daten aus dem „World Values Survey“ und dem „European Social Survey“, dass es keinen Grund für Alarmismus gibt. Das Gegenteil ist jedoch die Perspektive - ein Plädoyer für eine weitere Integration in der Tradition der Aufklärung der Mehrheitsbevölkerung und der Muslime, um die Integration von Muslimen in Europa zu beschleunigen. Der Kern der radikalen und gewalttätigen Islamisten in Europa (EU-27, EWR, EFTA) ist ca. 2-4% der gesamten ansässigen muslimischen Bevölkerung, während die subjektive Armut der Muslime in Europa in den letzten 4 Jahren (2002 - 2006) um mehr als 10% zurückging und sich vor der gegenwärtigen Wirtschaftskrise eine gewisse muslimische Mittelschicht herausbildete. Die Zufriedenheit der Muslime mit der Demokratie in Europa ist zu einem großen Teil von der Leistungsfähigkeit des Gesundheits-und Bildungssystems bestimmt.
