(Credit: European Parliament) Harun Nasrullah In an unprecedented intervention, a coalition of 25 NGOs representing 11 countries has called on the European Commission to investigate France for its state-sponsored support to Islamophobia. In a petition to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, the coalition asked her to try the French Government at the European Court of Justice for imposing discriminatory practices.

France in the dock for Islamaphobia

France in the dock for Islamaphobia By Opinion Iqbal Jassat France faces a political hot potato if the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) agrees to probe complaints about unfair and targeted attacks on Islam and Muslims. The complaints arise from a carefully co-ordinated campaign by a coalition of human rights and civil society organisations who have petitioned the UNHRC to investigate the Macron government’s discrimination against Muslims. France stands accused of systematically entrenching Islamophobia by placing the entire Muslim community under the radar on suspicion of being the “other”. The daring move to invoke the UN charter and find France’s ruthless attacks to be in violation of it, comes in the midst of a sweeping crackdown on the Muslim community by the French state.
