Muslims and Europe's identity crisis

US News and World Report takes a look at the growing identity problem in Europe.

BERLIN--Told that she couldn't sit in on religion classes for the Muslim students at Rixdorfer Elementary School, Marion Berning went into the classroom anyway on the pretext of fixing a window. What she found stunned and angered her. The teacher was saying that "women are for the house, for the children. And the girls were sitting like this," she says, placing her hands in her lap, slumping her shoulders in an imitation of a meek posture, and casting her eyes downward. "While all of the boys," she is yelling now, "they were talking and playing. This is fundamentalism."

Read the whole thing.

The Dutch and French are having similar problems and in the UK they are adopting Sharia law. Where is all this heading? A crisis, identity or ortherwise.
