VIENNA, Austria -- A German Muslim says his neighbors suspect he is making weapons in his mosque.
An Austrian believer complains some dog owners set their pets on her when they pass her on the sidewalk.
Such acts of "Islamophobia" are on the rise across Europe, where many Muslims are menaced and misunderstood -- some on a daily basis -- the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia warned yesterday in a new report.
[...]
Since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, many of Europe's nearly 13 million Muslims feel "they have been put under a general suspicion of terrorism," Winkler said.
[...]
Last week, Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain called tolerance one of the "essential values" of his nation and denounced "hatemongers, whatever their race, religion, or creed."
[...]
Muslims are often "disproportionately represented" in unemployment statistics, and many lag behind the European mainstream in education and housing conditions, the report says.

Gosh, that's just so darn unjust. Every time I have to go through the airport security cha-cha, I'll have to remember how much tougher the poor muslims have it.
Conspicuously enough, I'll take note of the absence of kidnappings and beheadings (directed at Muslims).

Bold mine. What nerve.......they say the same thing every time about 9-11.
Go home. These animals have no place in any civilized society.
Yes, and I've said it on another thread: I want Muslims to have such a high anxiety level and to feel uncomfortable enough to decided to live somewhere else than in the U.S. The Euroweenies will have to fend for themselves.
Maybe it's because we have been told lots of times we either convert to their Islamic cult or they will kill us.
I don't believe they are "misunderstood". I think they are thoroughly understood.
...and I don't have a "phobia" concerning Islam, I have an extreme dislike--"afraid", I ain't.
Not true. Comes from a CAIR package, I'm sure.
Loud mouthed Islamic Supremacists shout at kufir and call us "White Devils" through megaphones on the streets on New York. Pro-911 hijacking attacks activists hold annual conferences in England. Men in Black from the MMM smash up liquor stores in Oakland because they sell to the black community. The Holocaust is now considered "debateable".
No one goes punching these FASCIST jerks in the mouth. There is no rash of violence, let alone unprovoked violence. We are letting the a$$holes in the Islamic Supremacist movement spout their garbage and indoctrinate more into their hate filled agenda.
If we were truly afraid of those who preach Islam, we'd be doing something about it.
Oh dear... Are we causing them anxiety?
What's the word for hating the leftist media with every fiber of one's being?
Actually, the real problem is that in spite of all the violence and terror around the world most people haven't yet woken up to what is going on. That would certainly include the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia. Maybe there would be more use for a Monitoring Center on Muslim Violence and hatred.
You're giving fascist jerks a bad name.
Until the MAJORITY of Mulims begin to renounce the terrorism of the minority, they have all earned a 2nd look and due suspicion.
I'm not Islamophobic! I just hate the jihad waging %$@#%@#%@#$%!!
history speaks pretty loudly for itself
the best predicator of the future is the past
they have 1400 years on the record already.
