I hear a lot of self-righteousness about the values in Europe, which somehow are for a certain group and not for another. So I think that if we want to be citizens of the 21st century Europe, where we enjoy similar rights, civil rights,. One of the things we could have learned from the American experience is a civil rights movement. The magic word really is compassion. Compassion for the other, compassion for another story, compassion for difficulties dealing with those stories. Thank you.
The debate "Europe is failing its Muslims" took place on February 23rd at Cadogan Hall in London, in association with BBC World News and the British Council. Arguing in favour of the motion were Tariq Ramadan and Petra Stienen; against the motion were Douglas Murray and Flemming Rose.
