In recent years violent Islamic activism has unleashed a perilous process of action, reaction, and confrontation. Not only international relations, but also relations between population groups within states are under great pressure. Fear of Islam has also increased in Europe along with mistrust between Muslims and non-Muslims. Opinion leaders, politicians, and citizens render harsh judgments regarding 'Islam', which is often considered incompatible with core values like democracy and human rights. In contrast, all the contributors to this conference report call for a far more constructive European response to the issues raised, one that supports the EU's fundamental values of promoting democracy and human rights rather than focusing on short-term stability and security. 606 $aIslam and politics 606 $aDemocracy$zAfrica, North 606 $aDemocracy$zMiddle East 615 0$aIslam and politics. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocracy 700 $aHarchaoui$b Sadik$f1973-$0909626 702 $aSchoonenboom$b I.
