欧洲对其最近组成的穆斯林社区的反应反映了其文化同质性的内在自我形象，尽管有着悠久的文化适应传统。反过来，这也是东方主义视野持续存在的一个方面，它刺激了与之对立的镜像，即西方主义或相反的东方主义，因为这些社区的反应具有深刻的疏离感。这两者相互作用，产生了当今族群间关系的典型的文化和政治对抗，建立了一个新的族群间社会政治边界，可能会固化为相互敌对的永久鸿沟。正是这一点，而不是全球化的萨拉菲圣战主义，解释了当今欧洲国家面临的政治极端主义。
Europe's reactions to its recently-constituted Muslim communities reflect its implicit self-image of cultural homogeneity, despite a long tradition of cultural adaption. This, in turn, is a facet of the persistance of an Orientalist vision which stimulates its opposed mirror-image, Occidentalism or Orientalism-in-reverse, as those communities react with a sense of profound alienation. The two interact to generate the cultural and political confrontation that typifies inter-communal relations today, constructing a new inter-communal socio-political boundary that could harden into a permanent divide of mutual hostility. It is this, far more than globalised salafi-jihadism, that explains the political extremism confronting European states today.
