After the terrorist attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, not only France but many across the whole of Europe came together against it. Around four million people poured onto the streets of France to protest against terrorism on Sunday. Euronews turned to a prominent Turkish sociologist who has carried out studies on Muslim women.

Professor Nilüfer Göle is director of studies at l’École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) – the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris.

« I believe we will start building a new civilisation… not a ‘clash of civilisations’ but a new European society where Muslims should play a great role »
