Is Europe as it stands today, compatible with democracy?

[zen@freedbms.net (Zenaan Harkness)]

"why is society so blind to the course of action any truly committed
citizen might take?"
(President of the Arab European League, at least in 2006)

This article is dated 19 November 2015 but is from 2006:
"In 2006, a conversation before a large audience in Rotterdam on the
role that Muslims should play in European societies took place,
between Dyab Abou Jahjah, then president of the Arab European League
with its Antwerp headquarters, and Tariq Ramadan. openDemocracyâ??s
Editor was there."

Seems quite apt today. And I guess the subject line applies to
Australia, Canada, USA etc too...
