Summary
Annotation Patrick Ireland argues that it is incorrect blithely to anticipate unavoidable conflict between Muslim immigrants and European host societies. Noting similarities in the structure of the welfare states in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium -- as well as in their respective North African and Turkish immigrant communities -- he compares national- and city-level developments to show how approaches toward immigrant settlement have diverged widely and evolved over time
