If they intend to fight vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, that’s great, as such attacks are never justified. But usually these initiatives classify as “anti-Muslim hatred” any and all opposition to jihad violence or criticism of Sharia. This coordinator will make Muslims a privileged class in the EU, immune from all criticism, and stymie efforts to oppose jihad activity. But the EU chose its path long ago; why change course now?
“EU Commission ‘fully committed’ to fight anti-Muslim hatred but lacks coordinator,” by Silvia Ellena, EURACTIV.com, December 20, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
…While Islamophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment keeps growing across the EU, lawmakers have called on the European Commission to quickly appoint the EU coordinator to fight anti-Muslim hatred and step up efforts to tackle discrimination across the Union.
Islamophobia continued to grow in 2021, according to a report by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). In the EU, most anti-Muslim hatred and Islamophobic incidents were recorded in France, which, together with Germany, hosts the highest number of European Muslims.
This growing trend was recently pointed out by the Council of Europe, the pan-European human rights organisation.
In a resolution adopted in October, it stressed the need to “address this phenomenon as a matter of priority” and condemned the “use of Islamophobic rhetoric in public and political discourse, particularly by populist and far-right movements”.
Islamophobia and the far-right
“Unfortunately, on a national level, very few member states are taking actions that go hand in hand with far-right parties gaining power,” Swedish MEP Evin Incir told EURACTIV, pointing to the cases of Sweden and Italy.The Swedish MEP, rapporteur of an EU Parliament resolution on anti-racism, expressed concern over the growing anti-Muslim sentiment in Europe and its normalisation “within the political establishment of some countries”.
“When hatred against Muslims becomes normalised by words, then the distance between words and actions becomes smaller and we see that all across our member states.”
Asked by EURACTIV, the Commission did not say whether it was concerned about the impact of far-right governments in these countries on anti-Muslim rhetoric, but stressed that it was “fully committed to fighting all forms of discrimination, including anti-Muslim hatred and discrimination”.
Open vacancy
In 2015, the Commission created the position of anti-Muslim hatred coordinator, together with the anti-Semitism coordinator, to tackle discrimination across member states and coordinate integration efforts with civil society organisations.Yet, the anti-Muslim hatred coordinator post has been vacant since July 2021 and the EU executive is still in the process of finding “the right candidate,” a Commission official told EURACTIV.
In the anti-racism resolution adopted in November, the European Parliament called on the Commission to “swiftly appoint” the coordinator on combating anti-Muslim hatred.
“It is very serious that the coordinator hasn’t been appointed,” Incir told EURACTIV.
In her view, the slow progress on this post compared to the others is “part of a signal that is sent to Muslim people in our Union, that combatting other forms of racism seems for our institutions to be more important than combating this kind of racism”.
“This is unacceptable,” she said, adding that all these forms of racism “are rooted in the same kind of hatred” and should be addressed equally….

But Nations must understand that it is not hatred of Muslims but normal rejection and protection from the supremacist teachings of Islam. It is the same protection needed against neonazigroups. Its the religion that is a supremacist government, A Government of warlords, that people do not want or accept. Do people calling ‘Islamophobia” also think we should accept nazigroups and say Hitler was right?? Do they? Can we as a free world Ever say such a thing again? NO.

Islamophobia (Fear of Muslims) is seen to increase in proportion to the amount that people are closely associated with and familiar with Muslim beliefs and practices. France, Sweden, and Germany are examples of countries with the highest number of European Muslims. They are also countries with increasing ‘Islamophobia’. Islam generates its own Islamophobia.

Yes.
And interestingly, this is generally not true of other immigrants – if they have Judeo-Christian values.

Politicians should just coordinate to do their normal mandated duties of protecting citizens and their nation, by stemming the massive flow of illegal Muslim migrants pouring in, and start repatriating them. What is needed is a Repatriation Coordinator.

In most cases this “anti-Muslim hate” probably means opposing Jihad terror and brutal Shari’ah law.

We desperately need a strong leader who will unite all infidels and get rid of Islam and the Muslims once and for all.

The more Muslims engage in terrorism, rape, riots, etc…the louder they’ll scream about “Is-llama-phobia!” (fear of llamas).
Deflect, victim blame, spin, lie, hate, browbeat the infidels who pipe up about Islam.
The typical life of a useless vermin in service of a barbaric death cult.
Deodata says
All part of the creeping plague of Islam, play the victim, ask for more and more, gain power and influence one bite at a time. Yet nobody in power realises what is really going on and it’s killing their own people. What are they scared off?
NoTaqiyya says
Anyone who has had to deal with Muslims knows that the real problem is not Islamophobia, but Christophobia. Hatred of Christians by Muslims who are taught to hate Christians by their Sharia.
Many Muslims come to Western countries with a deep prejudice against the host nations who provide a roof over their heads, feeding them. Nevertheless they hate the West.
They love to insult, curse and commit blasphemy against the Christ. They feel entitled to do that, but when they’re called out on that hatred, they instantly revert to the victim stance.
Throw the stone, hide the hand. It is always the Westerner’s fault, and the Muslim is always portrayed as the victim. But anyone who has had dealings with Muslims, knows that the real aggressors are the Muslims.
They have been the aggressors since the very beginning, and they continue to be, but the lamestream media has a tendency to portray any legitimate criticism of Jihad as racism.
The reason is not because any real concern for Muslims, as in the case of the Uighurs in China. The real reason is because the lying media is too often rabidly anti-Christian.

What a joke this is. People are finally waking up to Muslims and their appalling behaviour, terrorist attacks, rape gangs,etc, so the moronically stupid authorities decide that what needs to be done is shut down this dislike of islam and Muslims, this “islamophobia”. The level of gutless surrender to islam by some of these people in authority is staggering. Hopefully, there will be an avalanche of dislike for islam as more and more people everywhere wake up to islam’s nature.
