Gabriel A. Almond (January 12, 1911 – December 25, 2002)

Participatory democratic institutions relate to the manner in which people within a polity view their relationships with others vis a vis their own interests. The civic culture is pluralistic, and based on communication and persuasion, a culture of consensus and diversity, a culture that [permits] change but [moderates] it. This civic culture is but one example of political culture generally, which they take to refer to the specifically political orientations -- attitudes towards the political system and its various parts, and attitudes toward therole of the self in the system. Moreover, in its position of general values and attitudes shared by the populace, political culture is formulated as the connecting link between micro- and macropolitics.

18/10/22 Antisemitism in Europe 2618/10/22 26

There are three broad types of political culture:

1) parochial, in which no clear differentiation of specific political roles and expectations exists among actors, i.e. political specialization is minimal 2) subject, in which institutional and role differentiation exists in political life, but towards which the citizen stands in largely passive relations; and 3) participant, in which the relationships between specialized institutions and citizen opinion and activity is interactive.

A participant is assumed to be aware of and informed about the political system in both its governmental and political aspects. A subject tends to be cognitively oriented primarily to the output side of government: the executive, bureaucracy, and judiciary. The parochial tends to be unaware, or only dimly aware, of the political system in all its aspects.

The maintenance of these more traditional attitudes and their fusion with the participant orientations lead to a balanced political culture in which political activity, involvement, and rationality exist but are balanced by passivity, traditionality, and commitment to parochial values.

„„foreign born population“foreign born population“


European countries could use a period of benign neglect of the Islam issue — but only after they finish incorporating religion into the national fabric. For too long,

they have instead masked an absence of coherent integration policy under the cloak of “multiculturalism.” The state outsourced the hard work of integration to

foreign diplomats and Islamist institutions — for example, some students in Germany read Saudi-supplied textbooks in Saudi-run institutions.

This neglect of integration helped an unregulated “underground Islam” to take hold in storefronts, basements and courtyards. It reflected wishful thinking about

how long guest workers would stay and perpetuated a myth of eventual departure and repatriation.

In Britain, for example, race-based equality laws protected Sikhs and Jews as minorities, but not Hindus and Muslims, since they were still considered

“foreign.”Institutional exclusion fueled a demand for religious recognition, and did much to

unite and segregate Muslims. Islamist organizations became the most visible defenders of the faith. It is crucial now to provide the right mix of institutional

incentives for religious and political moderation, and the most promising strategy for doing that is for governments to consult with the full range of law-

abiding religious institutions that Muslims have themselves established.

•Muslim integration into Western societies has become of increasing importance to policymakers and researchers since 9/11. The idea that exclusion of Muslim communities from mainstream society threatens international security has gained particular currency in Europe as a result of attacks in Amsterdam, Madrid, and London and riots in Paris. That most of those involved in these terrorist incidents were European citizens of Asian or African descent brought many to question integration and immigration policies and the extent to which these policies can foil a future “homegrown” attack.

•Terrorism in Europe has prompted several researchers to examine Muslim integration in the West (Haddad and Smith 2002; Malik 2004a; Angenendt et al. 2007; Sinno 2009). Yet these studies tend to concentrate on integration within individual countries rather than in cross-national comparison. A notable exception is Cesari (2004), but her study underscores the transformation and reconciliation of Islam in the West, rather than the extent to which Muslims are included into Western societies.

important issues. Ankara hosted Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-
