As September 21 is marked as the European Action Day against Islamophobia, we are confronted with an unsettling reality: Europe has become a breeding ground for anti-Islam hatred.
of religiously aggravated hate crimes were reported in 2022, representing a 37 percent increase compared to the year before. Among these incidents, 3,459, accounting for 42 percent of all cases categorised as hate crimes, targeted individuals of Muslim faith and background.also reveals that Muslims rank as the second least-liked group in the UK, following only Roma and Irish Travellers.
For example, while previous British PM Liz Truss promised to adopt a"zero-tolerance" approach to Islamophobia, Rishi Sunak, in contrast, largely overlooked the matter, choosing instead to defend one of the government's most controversial counter-terrorism strategies, Prevent. Sunak emphasised a shift in focus toward countering the threat of"Islamist extremism.
France's latest move to act as "clothing police" by banning Muslim overgarments, abayas, in schools across the nation is facing criticism, with an MP calling it "an obsessional rejection of Muslims."France not only fails to combat Islamophobia but actively sponsors it through various laws and policies.
While the Ministry of Interior has yet to release official data, the Collective Against Islamophobia in Europe reported a staggering 501 incidents in France in 2022 alone, further highlighting the pressing issue of Islamophobia within the country.Germany, a nation with a population exceeding 84 million, boasts the second-largest Muslim community in Western Europe, trailing only behind France. Official figures suggest that over 5 million Muslims call Germany home.
The issue of under-reporting, coupled with certain countries strategically choosing not to collect or publish relevant statistics, exacerbates the trivialisation of anti-Muslim racism, as highlighted in the CCIE’s annual report on Islamophobia in Europe.
