Abstract
By gathering 39 local scholars, experts, and civil society activists specialized
in racism and human rights, the fourth edition of the European Islamophobia
Report addresses a still timely and politically important issue. All 34 country
reports included in this book follow a unique structure that is convenient, first, for comparing country reports and, second, for selected readings on a particular topic such as
politics, employment, or education with regards to Islamophobia across Europe.
The present report investigates in detail the underlying dynamics that directly or indirectly
support the rise of anti-Muslim racism in Europe. This extends from Islamophobic statements spread in national media to laws and policies that restrain the fundamental rights
of European Muslim citizens. As a result, the European Islamophobia Report 2018 discusses the impact of anti-Muslim discourse on human rights, multiculturalism, and the
state of law in Europe.
This fourth edition of our report highlights how European societies are challenged by the
rise of violent far-right groups that do not only preach hatred of Muslims but also participate in the organization of bloody terror attacks. The rise of far-right terrorist groups such
as AFO (Action of Operational Forces) in France or the network Hannibal in Germany,
Austria, and Switzerland confirms EUROPOL’s alarming surveys on the growing danger
of right-wing terrorism.
This year, SETA worked in cooperation with the Leopold Weiss Institute, an Austrian NGO
based in Vienna dedicated to the research of Muslims in Europe. In addition, the European Union has funded the European Islamophobia Report 2018 through the program
“Civil Society Dialogue Between EU and Turkey (CSD-V)”.
