Meld Islamofobie (Report Islamophobia)
“The direct reason for this citizens' initiative was the numerous 'revenge actions' against Dutch Muslims in the weeks after the attack on the office of the magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Muslims were held collectively responsible for the actions of individuals; a recurring pattern in the media and public space." Report Islamophobia exists because Islamophobia exists. Unfortunately, Islamophobia is not yet sufficiently recognized in the Netherlands as a structural problem and as a form of institutionalized racism. This results in the normalization and acceptance of Islamophobia in government policy and everyday life. Report Islamophobia strives for collective action against Islamophobia, knowledge development and offering a forum for reports, discussion and campaigns. Our ultimate goal is an inclusive society in which (religious) freedom and superdiversity are self-evident and everyone is treated equally and with dignity before the law, on the labor market and in all forms of social and political intercourse.”
