eumc.europa.eu: Muslims in the European Union: Discrimination and Islamophobia

EUMC Website

"Muslims in the European Union: Discrimination and Islamophobia

The report 'Muslims in the European Union: Discrimination and Islamophobia', published presents available data on discrimination affecting Muslims in employment, education and housing. Manifestations of Islamophobia range from verbal threats through to physical attacks on people and property. The report stresses that the extent and nature of discrimination and Islamophobic incidents against European Muslims remain under-documented and under-reported. The EUMC report recommends therefore that Member States improve the reporting of incidents and implement measures to counter discrimination and racism more effectively. The report also includes initiatives and proposals for policy action by EU Member State governments and the European institutions to combat Islamophobia and to foster integration.
