The alarming rise of Islamophobia in France is now reflected in a striking statistic: 66% of Muslims report having been victims of racist behavior, according to a survey by the French Institute of Public Opinion (Ifop). Published on Monday, September 15, the findings shed light on what the study describes as a «multidimensional discriminatory system», offering valuable guidance for shaping more effective measures to address the issue.
A few days after the controversy erupted, the Spanish government in Madrid responded swiftly, giving the city council of Jumilla (Murcia province) one month to overturn a motion banning the use of municipal facilities for Muslim celebrations. If it fails to comply, the government may launch administrative legal proceedings.
In an unprecedented move, the municipal council of Jumilla, in Spain’s Murcia region, has banned the public celebration of two major Muslim holidays: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The decision, backed by councilors from the conservative People's Party (PP), has sparked controversy in this southern town, home to a significant Moroccan community.
