The European Islamophobia Report 2023 found that Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza has functioned as a ‘geopolitical catalyst of anti-Muslim racism in Europe’.
A report on Saturday has revealed that Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza have led to a significant increase in Islamophobia across Europe.
The European Islamophobia Report 2023 looked at anti-Muslim sentiment in 28 European countries, finding that the war on the besieged Palestinian enclave had “functioned as a geopolitical catalyst of anti-Muslim racism in Europe”.
An organization under this name does exist, but seems to not have a website or other public presence. Of course this does raise legitimate questions. However the author of the meforum text even provided the evidence for the existence of a registered organization on his own website.
Quite honestly, “Austrian Institute without a public presence whose main contributor moved back to Turkey” does still smell like a front group to me.
And ftr, none of that means that I think Islamophobia doesn’t exist or hasn’t increased.
