EU Commission Warns Against Islamophobia

Addressing the soaring Islamophobia in Europe, the European Commission warned that anti-¬Muslim and anti¬-Semitism attacks are rising rapidly in Europe, calling for urgent measures to deal with the issue.

"Anti-Muslim incidents are multiplying across Europe. We're seeing a huge spike of attacks. The rise of islamophobia is the one of the biggest challenges in Europe," Vice President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, was quoted by KUNA on Thursday, October 1.

Frans made his comments during the EU first seminar on combating anti-Muslim and anti-Semitism hatred held in Brussels on Thursday.

Titled "Tolerance and respect: preventing and combating anti¬-Semitic and anti¬-Muslim hatred in Europe,” the conference aimed to raise European public awareness about the issue.

"When you know about European history, you know that the darker, uglier forces in our societies always turn first against minorities. Always turn first against Jews," Frans noted.

"We have seen the homes of asylum seekers set on fire. And we have heard political leaders declare that their countries would not accept refugees if they were Muslim."

The EU conference came as the Eurobarometer public opinion survey found that Muslims suffer from the lowest levels of social acceptance among all religious groups.

It also showed that 50% of Europeans believe discrimination based on religion or beliefs is widespread.

One in three of Europeans who express a religious belief while applying for a job can be rejected.
