Islam, Immigration, and What It Means to Be French - a podcast by Washington University in St. Louis

In 2015 alone, hundreds of thousands of migrants have fled war-torn Syria and elsewhere and made their way to Europe. While many Europeans have welcomed the refugees, some countries have expressed reluctance to accept Muslim asylum seekers.

Here he talks about that history and and how Europe, and France in particular, can best move forward.
