Are Europe's Migrants Not a Potential Resource?

The article examines whether Europe's migrants are a potential resource and discusses Bassam Tibi's views on the issue of integration facing Muslim migrants in Western Europe. According to the author, Tibi argues that Europe's Muslims should abandon their steadfast adherence to the Islamic "umma" and adopt Western political values, particularly pluralism. The author argues that Europe needs to manage its relationship with a culturally and racialised Other in a world that is globalised.
