أزمة اللاجئين و الإسلاموفوبيا

Abstract EN

In the face of Europe’s biggest refugee crisis since WWII, many right wing and centrist politicians are using Islamophobia as a way to leverage policymaking in the West, to the detriment of human rights.

The refugee crisis is just that -not an attempt by Muslims to ‘take over’ or ‘take down’ the West, but a crisis of people -of all religious and ethnic backgrounds- to flee from terror.

At the same time, it reflects a crisis within Europe, which fights with itself how to define Europe in terms of openness and closeness to refugees knocking at the doors of Europe.
