Is it always harder to be a Muslim in Europe? unusual study by EU agencies

The question is provocative and perverse. Europe was a continent about the dominance of Christian states. Since its laicization and migration processes that brought Muslims into countries where practically this religion was a margin, problems have begun. However, this question was raised by the Atlantico portal, referring to a study published by the European Agency for Fundamental Rights on 24 October. The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, formerly the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), is an independent agency of the European Union. Only, is it truly independent?

"Daily experience of discrimination"

According to the report, almost half of Muslims surviving in the EU say that they "are experiencing discrimination all day". A survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) was carried out at a example of 9,604 Muslims in 2021-22 in 13 countries (in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden). The study entitled “Be Muslim in the EU” indicates that Muslims experience the top racism in Austria (71%), Germany (68%) and Finland (63%). According to this study, 47% of Muslims claim that they have suffered discrimination in the last 5 years (in 2016 they claimed 36%).

However, the sense of discrimination among Muslims in Europe has the another side. Here 1 can point to the dominant Islamist "victim's discourse", which is intended to supply additional protection for Muhammad's followers, and even forms part of moral blackmail against their host states. The survey is based on declarative information that remains unverified. Meanwhile, the belief of victimization in muslim circles is common.

5% number demands tolerance for now
Muslims are now the second largest spiritual group in the EU. According to the latest 2016 Pew investigation Center estimates, there are 26 million people in the EU, representing 5% of the full population. Most live in France and Germany. This figure has "increased importantly in fresh years due to people fleeing conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria" and is frequently people bringing with them a strict concept of their religion, including Sharia rights.

Based on alleged discrimination, Muslims have become a client of various leftist parties who preach the principles of equality and social justice. In time, the electorate became crucial to the left, and Islam's followers themselves began to occupy their place in politics. A good example is the rebel France party, which over the Seine not only patronises a large part of the Muslim electorate, but according to the Ifop poll for “La Croix” is anchored “chosenly” in Islam. In the June 2024 election, 62% of French Muslim citizens who went to the polls just voted for La France Insoumise.

The FRA study recommends that the EU focus on "racism towards Muslims". The president of the Fundamental Rights Agency, Sirpa Rautio, states that "one of the most worrying aspects is the frequency of racist phenomena on our streets, schools and at work." However, back to the example of France, 242 alleged "anti-Muslim acts" were recorded in 2023. It's inactive beautiful far behind anti-Christian and anti-Semitic acts. In addition, most specified incidents are caused by Muslims themselves.

The origin of problems are Muslims themselves?

“Atlantico” gives an example of alleged discrimination in access to healthcare, the victims of which are Muslims in respective European countries. However, it is known that, for example, doctors in maternity wards regularly face difficulties that arise from, for example, the refusal of a husband to take a kid at birth by a doctor of a man. akin difficulties and incidents happen in average studies. The attacking side in education is Muslim students who question certain subjects of the lesson.

For example, Ramadan is the origin of conflict in the workplace. There are besides social tensions associated with wearing muslim costumes. In the meantime, it is worth recalling the Council of Europe's communication run called "Freedom in Hijaba", which portrayed the hijab as "choice" and "human rights". “How boring would the planet be if everyone looked the same?” was the seemingly innocent slogan supplemented by praise “beautiful in diversity”. At the time, laicka France fought with schoolgirls' scarves for the sake of school's secularity...

"Useful Idiocy" of the Left and Islamist Tactics

Some of Brussels' activities and its "care" for "religious peace" in the EU, but in an Islam-privileged aspect of "discrimination between Muslims" may be of serious concern. There are even accusations that we are facing infiltration by muslim circles of European organisations, especially under the pretext of fighting for human rights. This is what the highly manipulated discourse about alleged victimization of Muslims serves. It is besides driven by the "growth of the influences of the far right in Europe" of the EU left-wing thesis. In the meantime, the most cases of "anti-Muslim acts" concern countries where the left is presently ruling. Undoubtedly, the FRA study fits into a alternatively dangerous stream of protection of muslim installations in the EU. At the same time, there are fewer people who deal with discrimination against Christians, not to mention their completely asymmetric situation in muslim countries. The slogan of "discrimination between Muslims" is simply part of the tactics of muslim expansion; unfortunately supported by the left's "useful idiotism".
