Islam, Migrants and Multiculturalism: A Glance at Germany, Korea and Beyond
As Germany struggles to define its relationship with its new population of Muslim migrants, a comprehensive endorsement of multiculturalism is not a foregone conclusion. Germany exemplifies trends that signal a retreat from multiculturalism and pluralism, not only in Europe but around the world. In their article for the
Middle East Institute, Julius Rogenhofer and Hacer Gonul suggest that the

German discussions around Islam and multiculturalism mark a new global trend of skepticism towards cultural pluralism in nation states.
