Immigration, Integration and Islam

Bashy Quraishy

There is a tendency to simplify the issue of ethnic and religious minorities in the political and academic discourses in EU member states and broader debates in civil society. The use of terminology, such as immigration and migrants and connecting this exclusively with Islam and associating Islam with terrorism, is very wide spread. The political elite who want to win cheap votes use the term immigration to cover all sorts of groups who enter Europe. Is this a deliberate effort on the part of European rulers to mislead public opinion or can this be attributed to a simple case of ignorance and arrogance?
