The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) published the press release ‘Muslims in Europe face ever more racism and discrimination‘ (pdf-version):
One in two Muslims in the EU face racism and discrimination in their daily life – a sharp rise since 2016. Muslim women, men and children are targeted not just because of their religion, but also because of their skin colour and ethnic or immigrant background. Young Muslims born in the EU and women wearing religious clothing are especially affected. These are some of the findings of the latest report from the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).
It shows that Europeans should not be proud of themselves for complying with the fundamental rights rules that the EU prides itself on.
