	Europe's culture clash - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Editorials - News
		If Europe is to weather the challenge of accommodating an ever greater proportion of Muslims, many of whom do not want to abandon their distinct values and traditions, majorities and minorities will both have to change their ways.
		Theirs is an assault on Europe's social cohesion by young Muslims who speak English, French, Dutch, or Spanish, who have listened to the same music and watched the same TV fare as their fellow citizens, but who use the Internet and DVDs and their cellphones to wage jihad against the societies they live in.
		Europe's Muslims will have to recognize that gender equality, secular law, and the right to believe in any faith or to be an unbeliever are hard-won European achievements that need not threaten a separate Islamic identity.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : Europe’s Problem—and Ours
		Europe’s rejection of power politics, its devaluing of military force as a tool of international relations, have depended on the presence of American military forces on European soil.
		Poland survived—better, Poland prevailed—because of culture: a culture formed by a distinctive language (Slavic, yet written in a Latin alphabet and thus oriented to the West as well as the East); by a unique literature, which helped keep alive the memory and idea of “Poland”; and by the intensity of its Catholic faith.
		Europe, in other words, needs something like a Great Awakening—by which I mean, not necessarily a fourth wave of the Wesleyan revolution, but a rebirth of life-transforming and culture-forming Christian conviction, especially Catholic conviction.

	Europe's Crisis of Culture
		If Christianity, on one hand, has found its most effective form in Europe, it is necessary, on the other hand, to say that in Europe a culture has developed that constitutes the absolutely most radical contradiction not only of Christianity, but of the religious and moral traditions of humanity.
		But this means that in the life of Europe, the Churches find a place in the realm of the political commitment, while, in the realm of the foundations of Europe, the imprint of their content has no place.
		Next to this culture, then, different religious cultures can coexist with their respective rights, on the condition and to the degree in which they respect the criteria of the Enlightenment culture, and are subordinated to it.

	Mapping Jewish Culture in Europe today: a pilot project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Jewish cultural festivals—many inaugurated during the 1990s—are establishing themselves as annual fixtures in towns and cities across Europe, and new Jewish films, plays and art exhibitions are showcased in film festivals, in theatres and in galleries and museums across the continent.
		Much of contemporary Jewish culture in Europe is shaped by outside influences, by an engagement of non-Jewish writers, performers and musicians with Jewish cultural themes and often in response to the increasingly widespread interest of predominantly non-Jewish audiences.
		Across Europe, the national importance of the restoration of lost Jewish cultural life is increasingly acknowledged as people come to realize the significant influence that Jewish communities have exerted on European history, in both local and national spheres.

	Hip Hop and Rap in Europe. The culture of the urban ghetto's
		In Europe, break dance was the first thing appearing on the public scene as it was probably less violent than the rap itself, which comes from the US most violent ghetto's with its angry lyrics.
		In Europe the movement developed in differentiating from American rap, according to the different social and immigration contexts and the local dominating musical scene.
		This strong youth culture rapidly influenced other musical styles with its phrasing and break beats and gave birth to many contrasting styles including pop, funk, dance, techno, acid jazz, indie rock etc. A straight rap record is still hard-core and only relevant for a specific group and market, it does not have a commercial appeal.

	Culture - France - Europe
		The culture of France has profoundly influenced that of the entire Western world, particularly in the areas of art and letters, and Paris has long been regarded as the fountainhead of French culture.
		France first attained cultural preeminence in Europe during the Middle Ages; later, the wealth of the French crown in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries provided a subsidization of art on a scale comparable to that of the papacy in Rome, attracting to Paris many of Europe’s most talented artists and artisans.
		Wealth also created a leisure class, which had both the time and the means for developing elegance in dress, manners, furnishings, and architecture.

		Cultural protectionism does not further cultural, artistic, or commercial ends.
		Culture, as I see it, is not about competing successfully in world markets, and so whether protecting it or not decreases are chances in doing so is irrelevant.

		However, these are based on imposed limitations of reason, characteristic of a specific cultural situation — that of the modern West —; and therefore not the last word of reason.
