Readers respond to Islam in Europe series

The title of this article should be Islam in the European Union, not Islam in Europe, since you tackled only issues in the countries which are part of the Union. Or maybe on purpose you did not consider the rest of the European countries - for example the Balkans. Or maybe you think that only the Union countries are worthy of being considered Europe. Civilization in Europe started not in the West, but in the East.

As a Muslim, I treat all people as brothers and sisters. It was God’s wisdom to diversify this world and have us look different in all aspects, including religion. If we love God, we all must understand and respect his wisdom by loving, helping and living peacefully with each other.

A good job and well done. I hope some of those more rational voices of Islam get louder and louder, so that the rest of Muslims in the world hear them out.

Europe is not America. Every state in Europe has its own nation, and own customs, if somebody comes to work and live in Europe then he must live like a European. This is not Arabia, Africa or Pakistan.

I am a regular reader of MSNBC news on the net. I am a physician of Muslim origin and based in USA. I am glad for the coverage to Muslims. And hope it helps to clarify some of the misconceptions about Muslims and Islam.

Ignorance of each other's religions is the problem. Islam and other faiths have historically lived side by side. Acceptance of pluralistic interpretations of any faith avoids interfaith tensions and assures peaceful coexistence of human race.

It interesting to watch the mass movement of Muslims to Christian countries but no such movement of Christians to Islamic countries. If Muslims are moving to Christian countries to have a better life for themselves and their children, then why would they want to keep the customs and burdens of Islamic life that caused them to leave in the first place? They need to adapt to the country they moved to. Not expect the country to adapt to them.

Instead of breast-beating about how badly the Muslims are treated in Europe/the struggles Muslims face in Europe. How about a study of Christianity or Judaism in the present day Arab world? That would be interesting.
