Islamophobia can be defined as the fear of or prejudiced viewpoint towards
Islam, Muslims and matters pertaining to them. Whether it takes the shape of
daily forms of racism and discrimination or more violent forms, Islamophobia
is a violation of human rights and a threat to social cohesion. Young people
are of course not immune to this. Young men and women are obviously affected
when they become targets of Islamophobic attacks and abuse. But, just as
importantly, they are also concerned by the general rise in discrimination and
xenophobia, whether it be active or passive. At this seminar held in Budapest
in June 2004, Islamophobia was discussed within the wider context of racism
and discrimination in Europe, in new and old forms. The discussions also
covered the troubling resurgence of Anti-Semitic attacks, Romaphobia and
segregation of Roma communities and persistent forms of discrimination against
visible minorities.The report of Ingrid Ramberg provides a personal account of
the issues raised at the seminar as well as a very useful documentation of the
presentations, workshops and debates. It also includes a series of policy
recommendations aimed at preventing Islamophobia and fostering intercultural
respect and coopération.
