About the International Day to Combat Islamophobia
Military , Politics
Ends: Mar 15, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
Islamophobia refers to a fear, prejudice, and hatred towards Muslims that leads to hostility, intolerance, and discrimination both online and offline. It is rooted in institutional, ideological, political, and religious hostility, often manifested through structural and cultural racism. Islamophobia targets symbols and markers associated with being Muslim and is driven by the perception that Islamic religion, tradition, and culture pose a threat to Western values.
Some experts prefer the term "anti-Muslim hatred" to avoid stifling freedom of expression, but international human rights law protects individuals, not religions. Islamophobia can also affect non-Muslims based on nationality, race, or ethnicity.
A report by the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief highlights that suspicion, discrimination, and outright hatred towards Muslims have reached epidemic proportions. Following terrorist attacks associated with Islam, institutional suspicion of Muslims has escalated, leading to disproportionate measures targeting them. Negative representations and stereotypes perpetuate discrimination, hostility, and violence against Muslims.
Muslims often face discrimination in accessing goods, services, employment, and education, especially in countries where they are a minority. Xenophobic perceptions associate Muslims with national security and terrorism threats, leading to denial of citizenship or legal status. Muslim women are particularly vulnerable to Islamophobic hate crimes.
Governments have implemented anti-hate crime legislation, prevention measures, and public awareness campaigns to combat Islamophobia. The United Nations General Assembly designated March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, emphasizing that terrorism and violent extremism should not be associated with any religion or group. The day aims to promote a culture of tolerance, peace, and respect for human rights and religious diversity.
The UN Secretary-General has highlighted that Islamophobia is part of a larger trend of ethno-nationalism, neo-Nazism, and hate speech targeting vulnerable populations. In response to rising hate speech, the United Nations launched a Strategy and Plan of Action on Hate Speech.
Overall, addressing Islamophobia requires concerted efforts to combat discrimination, promote tolerance, and protect the rights and dignity of Muslims and all individuals affected by such prejudice.
