‘Dangerous Moment’ for Europe, as Fear and Resentment Grow
Keywords:
Tags:
France with about 6 million Muslims and a history of colonial rule in North African Arab countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and other countries) faces a challenge of integrating Muslims into French society. Germany with a large population of Turkish origin also faces a similiar challenge. The attack on the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo for poking fun at Islam, in a manner similiar to its satirical work on Catholicism, leads to the death of 12 journalists, a policeman and a policewoman. Erlanger and Bennhold describe the reaction of people in France. Peter Neumann, director of the International Center for the Study of Radicalization at King's College , London, says about anti-immigrant sentiment increasing in Europe to the point where it is uncoupling working class families from the elites in Europe and reaching into the mainstream of society.

U.S., Germany, Russia, Brazil and the anti-Islamic video on the Prophet Muhammad in Sept. 2012
09/12/2012
Google's You Tube service provided the access to what would have been an obscure and crude video. This raises several questions- would a crude video of this type on the Buddha or Krishna be given similar access on the basis of the First Amendment and what would be the response in S. Korea, Japan, and India? Would it then be withdrawn. Is an election candidate for local government in Brazil entitled to protection because of Brazil's election laws? This was decided in favor of the election candidate after Brazilian courts ordered the arrest of the head of the Google affiliate in Brazil and Google then reversed its stand and removed it from You Tube. Are there unwritten laws and is the Prophet entitled to the same protection under unwritten laws that govern most of daily human behaviour in America and Europe? Does the First Amendment protect everything that new technology providers such as Google do, or do unwritten laws and good common sense prevail until new laws can be written for use of new technology, if such laws are needed that protect First Amendment rights without infringing on other rights.

Immigration in Germany and the East German city of Dresden
12/07/2014
Only 2% of the people in the former East Gemany are foreigners, yet there is increased wariness in the east about immigration from Islamic countries. With low unemployment in East Germany there is less of the anti-immigration sentiment that has increased support for Marie Le Pen in France. Anti-immigrant Germans in the former east Germany say they do not want to see the "ghettoes" of immigrants found in some West German cities.

Immigrant communities in a changing Bonn, Germany
06/04/2012
Once the capital of Federal Republic of Germany, Bonn is now home to a large Muslim immigrant community, with about 10% of the city's population. The presence of extremists has changed the peaceful environment in the city and setback years of efforts at integration of the immigrant community.

Issues of funding for services and infrastructure, immigration, women's issues, take centre stage in Sweden's 2014 parliamentary elections
09/14/2014
Sweden's centre right government loses the 2014 election with 39.3% of the vote, the Social Democrats allied to the Green Party win about 43.7% of the vote. A far right party calling for 90% cuts in immigrant integration funding doubles its vote. Immigrants mainly from war torn Syria, Iraq and Somalia. The increased voting for the far right comes mainly from the centre right government party. The women's party gets 3.1% of the vote. The Social Democrats argued that the centre right government had pursued policies that were leading to a deterioration in services, education and infrastructure through its austerity programs. Sweden's centre right government had supported the policies of Germany's Angela Merkel for tight control on spending.

France’s Secularist Model Is Challenged by Attack
Wall Street Journal 01/09/2015
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
