Article Abstract:

Middle-class Muslims who are integrated in the UK are anguished about the lack of action over the Bosnian tragedy by the West. They believe the international response to the situation is aggressive collusion intended to destroy Muslims. The West appears to be reviving the old hatred of Muslims in Europe. Muslims are apprehensive and fear being forced out of Europe. The Salman Rushdie affair forced many to consider their opinion. Muslims are developing self-help groups and organising themselves politically.
