NY Times (reg. required) article from yesterday, discussing Berlin's parallel Western/Muslim cultures.
The main challenge this piece poses to non-Turkish/non-Muslim Berlin residents is as follows: You are living in a culture in which female slavery is happening before your very eyes. Are you willing to name it, to try and do something about it, or are you comfortable simply letting things go as they have gone up until this point, under the guise of tolerating "cultural differences"?
There's no use of thinking for muslim women. They themselves want to be slaves and that's how they're programmed by the system. You can't simply help it. Don't waste your time being humanitarian with them.
