Some parts are great; others not. The first one made the biggest impact on me because it was a subject I thought about long time ago, but in a different context. While the author of the first article analyzes the mental state of the children born from immigrants in the United States, the analysis can also apply to the children of the Muslim immigrants in Europe.
In 2015, when Europe was devastated by terrorist incidents, the media and the people wondered why many of these attacks were performed by the children of the immigrants, who were born and raised in Europe, and not by the immigrants themselves. The answer to me seemed obvious: unlike the immigrants themselves, who know exactly what they are, their children are caught between conflicting cultures: the culture from home and the culture from outside. And this state of perpetual ambiguity - "Who am I?" "What am I?" - can have a devastating impact upon the psyche.
