There has been an alarming surge of anti-Muslim sentiment across the European continent. As Islamophobia continues to gain momentum throughout Europe—home to tens of millions of Muslim citizens—Professor Hafez offers listeners a comprehensive analysis of this troubling phenomenon. His work examines the multifaceted causes of this rise in Muslim prejudice, from historical legacies and media representations to contemporary political movements. Join us as Professor Hafez delves deeper into the divisive effects of Islamophobia on both Muslim and non-Muslim communities across Europe. He explores how this prejudice manifests in various spheres—from institutional discrimination and policy decisions to everyday interactions and personal experiences. The discussion highlights the broader implications for European society, questioning how these attitudes challenge fundamental values of pluralism, human rights, and social cohesion. Join host Sahar Aziz and Professor Hafez as they offer listeners insight into one of the most pressing social issues facing contemporary Europe, examining both its immediate impacts and long-term consequences for a continent grappling with questions of identity, belonging, and religious freedom in an increasingly diverse society. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #ICC #HumanRights Support the show Support the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation: Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr
