On the occasion of the publication of the European Islamophobia Report (EIR), Casa Árabe is hosting a panel of experts at its headquarters in Madrid tomorrow Friday at 10 a.m. to analyse the document and debate its conclusions and Islamophobia in southern Europe. Registration is required at this link. In English, without interpretation.
Since the refugee crisis in 2015, Europe has witnessed a growing xenophobia, especially against immigrants of Muslim origin. The rise of radical right-wing parties such as the AfD in Germany and the National Front in France are signs that Europe is facing a political crossroads. The continent is testing the practice of its cherished values of human rights, tolerance and plurality. The rise of xenophobia is intertwined with the rise of Islamophobia and hate speech. As in previous years, the European Islamophobia Report 2021 addresses anti-Muslim incidents in Europe to draw attention to this issue.
Taking part in this debate are Enes Bayrakli (Turkish-German University), Alexandros Skalleriou (Panteion University of Athens), Sara Ezebe (lawyer, Malta) and Sergio Gracia (University of Cordoba).
