On Tuesday, 15th March 2022, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring 15th March as an International Day to Combat Islamophobia.
Such a decision is an important step to shed light on this negative phenomenon in our societies today. It also strengthens the efforts made to raise awareness of its danger and combat Islamophobia.
We, in the Council of European Muslims, hail this decision, which came in accordance with freedom of religion right. There is no place in our societies today for hatred on grounds of religion or any other ground.
