"Religion's role in public life, and its influence on politics, have been center-stage questions worldwide since Sept. 11, 2001. But the debate in Europe has been complicated by the continent's difficulty in integrating its fast-growing Muslim immigrant minority. It has been sharpened by tragedies such as the bombing of a Madrid train station last March, and the brutal murder of Dutch Filmmaker Theo van Gogh by an Islamic extremist last fall [2004]." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article examines "the forces that are shaping European identity--and explores why the Continent is debating what role, if any, religion should play in public life."
