Muslim Discrimination in Europe
The “European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia” published the study “Muslims in the European Union, Discrimination and Islamophobia” in the end of the year 2006. The first part tries to put into context the data and information on manifestations of Islamophobia.
The second part presents country by country evidence of manifestations of Islamophobia examining data sources and data availability on the basis of a preliminary discussion on the use of the term ‘Islamophobia’.
The third part, which in many ways is the heart of this report, presents some key government and civil society initiatives targeting specifically Muslims.The report concludes with EUMC opinions addressed to European institutions, the Member States, civil society and the media.
