Übrigens, Islamophobie-Report
Unter anderem:
Some governments across Europe have also adopted legislation that discriminatesagainst Muslims. Claims of countering extremism have been used to justify the closure of mosques in France and Austria, and to ban the construction of new minarets in Switzerland. […] In Denmark, children born into immigrant often Muslim neighborhoods, labeled ghettos by the Danish government, must be separated35 hours each week from their families to learn Danish values. The governmentsof Austria and France have identified Islamist Separatism and political Islam as national security concerns without clearly defining those terms or requiring a relationto the use or advocacy of violence.
While in Austria Sebastian Kurz and most of his inner circle in government positions are gone, France continues its path of a crackdown on its Muslim population. As Kawtar Najib shows in her report on France, not only has the Islamophobic discourse been exacerbated during the presidential election campaign, but Macron was challenged by the even more aggressive anti-Muslim candidate Eric Zemmour. Najib writes, “Many other candidates from far-right to centrist parties have also madeIslamophobic comments during their own campaigns and even promised the enactment of new laws against Islam and Muslims that would go further than the anti-separatism law. […] The re-election of President Emmanuel Macron has allowed the continuation of his policy against what he calls ‘political Islam’ and ‘radical Islam’ which,in fact, directly affects ordinary Muslims in France.” Najib tells us that Macron’s “systematic obstruction” policy has led to the control of 1,727 Muslim institutions, 118closures, and 10 million euros seized between January and August 2022.10 As a consequence, she argues, “Today, French Muslims know very well that political measures directly target them as well as their religious practices. They can witness it when they seetheir local mosque being closed, their imam expelled or their Islamic school raided.”In such an atmosphere, a police attack on Muslim women11 and an arson attack on amosque12 have become possible. In the field of education, the so-called Laïcité Planto control and police Muslim women’s bodies has been implemented. A national education directive forces teachers and administrative staff under threat of penalties todetect “too long” skirts, to report female pupils, and to file a disciplinary complaint.
