Workshop: D050 Fighting Islamophobia across Europe
Politics, strategies, tactics and the next steps
Islamophobia is one of the most examples of racism, stigmatisation and discrimination in the twenty-first century. Yet, there is still a lack of a united international campaign and lobby on this pertinent issue.
Islamophobia is one of the most important examples of racism, stigmatisation and discrimination in the twenty-first century. Yet, there is still a lack of a united international campaign and lobby on this pertinent issue that would highlight the perspectives and views of Muslim communities and activists. Despite the role that a specific fear and hatred of Muslims played in the construction of the refugee ”crisis” across Europe, and the way in which this was capitalised on by the far right, Islamophobia has often been ”absorbed” into general anti-racist and anti-fascist campaigning rather than identified as requiring specific, direct policy intervention and outreach to Muslim communities.
This panel will bring speakers together to develop an international dialogue around this important area of progressive intervention, and work towards practical outcomes based on solidarity and internationalism.
