Muslim Alienation Risk in Europe

Integrating Muslims into European society has proven difficult for many EU member states. Fears of stereotypical extremism run rampant in non-Muslim populations, and Islamophobic incidents are on the rise in the EU, though still under-reported. A report from the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia details statistics and discriminatory practices against Muslims in the areas of housing, employment and violence committed on Muslim citizens. The report advises European politicians to promote dialogue between Muslim and non-Muslim populations, and also concedes that many Muslims must make an effort to offset violent stereotypes and engage in wider European society. – YaleGlobal
