No one can doubt that the tragic events of September 11 have had dramatic repercussions not only on the United States but the entire world. The extent and significance of these effects was the topic of this annual conference retreat organized by the Civic Institute. Speakers, including columnist, Dan Drapal, and Pavel Barsa of the Institute of International Relations at Charles University in Prague, analysed the growing presence and influence of Islam in Europe.
