Europe needs to better integrate Muslim communities: Obama

Washington (AFP) - Europe must do more to better integrate its Muslim communities, and not "simply respond with a hammer," US President Barack Obama said Friday in the wake of last week's terror attacks in France.

"Our biggest advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations -- they feel themselves to be Americans," Obama told a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

"There are parts of Europe in which that's not the case. And that's probably the greatest danger that Europe faces... it's important for Europe not to simply respond with a hammer and law enforcement and military approaches to these problems."

How many Muslim extremists are there? Just the facts, please.

ACT! for America's president and founder Brigitte Gabriel is a media favorite of conservatives concerned about terrorism. 

How many Muslim extremists are there? Just the facts, please.

And in the wake of the attacks on the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a video of Ms. Gabriel's comments  about "Muslims dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization" at a Heritage Foundation forum last June has been revived by bloggers and passed around social media. 

"The radicals are estimated to be between 15 to 25 percent, according to all intelligence services around the world," she said, in part, when asked by an American University head-scarf wearing law student about waging an ideological war with Muslims.  "You're looking at 180 million to 300 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization..." Gabriel said.
