'''Statistics'''
<br>
[http://s.telegraph.co.uk/graphics/MobileSwitcher/v2/images/595-14237764831783093124.svg '''Statistics on muslims' education and emplyment'''!] 
: If you are not sure how to work with statistics, [http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/charts.htm '''see here'''!]
* What effects does this have on the muslims' situation, attitudes and integration?


==Concepts of Intergration and Assimilation==



===Multiculturalism -  positive ethnic diversity===
* '''descriptive approach''': assessment of fact of cultural diversity
* '''normative approach''': ideologies or policies that embrace and promote this diversity - multiculturalism as a society “at ease with the rich tapestry of human life and the desire amongst people to express their own identity in the manner they see fit.”
:* focus on interaction and communication between different cultures
:* focus on diversity and cultural uniqueness
:* common aspect : no  specific ethnic, religious, or cultural community values presented as central.
 

===Cultural assimilation===
Process by which a person or a group's language or culture come to resemble those of another group. 
* '''Full assimilation''':  new members of a society become indistinguishable from members of the other group.
:* quick or gradual change?
:* desirable for an immigrant group?
* '''Immigrant assimilation''':
:* complex process in which immigrants fully integrate themselves into a new country.
:* four primary benchmarks for immigrant assimilation:
::* socioeconomic status (education, occupation, income)
::* geographic distribution
::* second language attainment
::* intermarriage



==Why do young muslims turn extremists?==

* [http://www.onbeing.org/program/reflections-former-islamist-extremist/transcript/1087 Reflections of a Former Islamist Extremist]
:Read from beginning to "''And it's a very powerful grip on one's mind. And in my case it took years to shed that influence''." (third box)

'''Reasons for Extremism:'''
:* crucial event: death of thousands of European muslims in war in Bosnia in 90s! West just watches and doesn't help the muslims there. (Parallels to wars in Iraq .... muslims are being killed and no-one cares)
:* Islam is cleverly presented as way of looking at '''history''': like in Marxism it is always a '''struggle''', them against us, bad against good, everybody against the muslims (idea of Western/Jewish conspiracy against Islam/muslims)
:*at school/in university young muslims become part of an active, organized, outspoken movement &rArr; '''proud''' to be an '''active muslim''', feeling of '''power''', feeling of '''belonging''' to group and of '''changing the world'''.
