Nilufer Gole, "we will see a new European society where Muslims should play a big role"

After the terrorist attack against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, all France was united but also throughout Europe. Nearly 4 million people marched in the streets to defend freedom of the press and against terrorism. We find duplex in Paris, the Professor Nilufer Gole, a sociologist at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS).

Bahtiyar Küçük, Euronews: How does the recent attack has affected France in Paris? Do you think it could undermine the fundamental dynamics of the multi-cultural society?

Nilufer Gole, "this attack is compared to September 11, 2001. We hope that the large gathering that took place on January 11 will be considered a different response from that of America. In other words, these attacks lead us to a positive gesture, to rethink the rules of living together in unity. Today, Europe has protected more than ever its Muslim community. We saw in the protests. Religious leaders not only in Europe but also in Muslim countries should keep a distance with those trying to legitimize these attacks. "

Bahtiyar Küçük, Euronews: the attackers of French Muslims. This raises questions about the integration of Muslims in the secular republic and values. Would you say that these attacks are the result of a failure to integrate?

Nilufer Gole, "I think we will see the creation of a new community. A community that will not only be one of an elite, but a community where everybody lives in the unit. I think we will start to build a new civilization. The answer is not to be the clash of civilizations, but the creation of a new European society where Muslims should play a major role in construction. Today an average citizen whether religious or not, should stand up for themselves and they have already begun to do. They participated in the event. Muslims in France have put forward as European citizens. "

Bahtiyar Küçük, Euronews: the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad were published again in A Charlie Hebdo. What is your reaction?

Nilufer Gole, "the prophet to tears. He is saddened by what happened. This is an image of peace at the same time. I think it's a beautiful cover, you can not call it a drawing, but it's a good coverage. "
