Sarkozy is out to ban veil not only because of secular culture of France but because he is basically rightwing politician and wants to cater to political perceptions of his rightwing constituency. The economic crisis in the west is also forcing hands of these politicians. To meet these political challenges they try to invoke their secular narrative precisely as some Muslims resort to religious narrative to legitimize their identity and economic marginalization. But let us not forget these are temporary problems. A new reality is also coming into existence which cannot be ignored. There is already a new identity being borne at least as far as new generation of Muslims borne in Europe is concerned. This new generation does not fall into category of migrants as they have been borne and brought up in Europe. A new term Euro-Islam is on the horizon though yet not a strong trend."(PG 3)engWith permission of the license/copyright holderIslamic ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsPreprint
