Many countries refrained from condemning attacks on civilians, restricted or banned pro\u2011Palestinian demonstrations, and placed Muslim activists under surveillance.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAccording to data from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, nearly half of Muslims have experienced discrimination in the past five years. This figure has risen to 47 percent in recent years, compared to 39 percent in 2016.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe report also states that Islamophobia is no longer confined to far\u2011right groups; it has become a defining element of mainstream European politics. The rise of Austria\u2019s Freedom Party, the entry of the Dutch Freedom Party led by Geert Wilders into government, and similar trends in Portugal, Spain, and Finland are cited as indicators of this shift.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe report concludes that Islamophobia in Europe has become normalized and integrated into official policies, highlighting the urgent need for serious measures to combat discrimination and hate speech against Muslims.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>   https:\/\/taghribnews.com\/vdciwpayyt1auy2.ilct.html<\/p>\n<p> taghribnews.com\/vdciwpayyt1auy2.ilct.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The report, prepared by Enes Bayrakl\u0131 of the Turkish\u2011German University and Farid Hafez of the College of William&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[20298,14040,58575,15974,177385,12636,5176,201273,25051,47057,33482,8522,2000,299,5187,19772,256,201272,30517,10515,26389,170225,17885,2452,12,19773,201270,3577,22883,81037,5494,143671,2963,811,201271,61939,5598,30976,6093],"class_list":{"0":"post-658374","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-20298","9":"tag-a","10":"tag-according","11":"tag-across","12":"tag-acts","13":"tag-agency","14":"tag-and","15":"tag-anti-muslim","16":"tag-become","17":"tag-but","18":"tag-countries","19":"tag-discrimination","20":"tag-eu","21":"tag-europe","22":"tag-european","23":"tag-has","24":"tag-in","25":"tag-indicates","26":"tag-individual","27":"tag-is","28":"tag-islamophobia","29":"tag-limited","30":"tag-longer","31":"tag-media","32":"tag-news","33":"tag-no","34":"tag-normalized","35":"tag-of","36":"tag-part","37":"tag-phenomenon","38":"tag-political","39":"tag-practices","40":"tag-report","41":"tag-security","42":"tag-taghrib","43":"tag-that","44":"tag-the","45":"tag-tna","46":"tag-to"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
