The article focuses on current conflicts between the growing community of ethnic Muslims in Europe and the declining society of ethnic Europeans. It also suggests the possible ways to resolve the conflicts. It mentions the murder case in which Dutch-Moroccan murderer Mohammed Bouyeri murdered Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004. It is suspected that Bouyeri killed Van Gogh considering him to be an American as he had made a mention of the U.S. on a note placed over Van Gogh's body. An overview of the European Muslim community's hatred towards Americans is reflected from several instances including bookstores in London, England being flooded with literature on Jihad against the U.S., and preaching against the American way of life in Marseille, France.

This article discusses various matters on migration. The Political Participation of Ethnic Minorities in Europe workshop was organized by the European Consortium for Political Research and was held at the Leyden University, The Netherlands, on April 2 to 8, 1993. This workshop explores the factors which constrain or facilitate the participation of ethnic minorities in the political process and the extent to which such participation has furthered or diluted the pursuit of ethnically-based interests. Meanwhile, the Annual Meeting of the American Catholic Historical Association: Philadelphia was held April 16 to 17, 1993. It included the following papers: The American Catholic Response to Recent Immigration, by M. L. Sullivan; Ybor City Latins and the Church, by M. J. McNally; and Puerto Ricans and the Archdiocesan of Chicago, 1963-1970, by T. Kelliher. In other matters, The Forum for Researchers on Islam in Europe was established to encourage the development of information and interdisciplinary research on Islam and Muslim populations in Europe.
