We live in a time of Islamophobia. In February, two violent attacks on Muslims in Europe, one in\u00a0Hanau in Germany, the other\u00a0in London, took place within 24 hours of each other.

The two events add to a growing list of violent attacks on Muslims across Europe.\u00a0In 2018 alone, France saw an increase of 52 percent of Islamophobic incidents; in Austria there was a rise of approximately 74 percent, with 540 cases. The\u00a0culmination of a decade\u00a0of steadily increasing\u00a0attacks on Muslims, such figures express a widespread antipathy to Islam. Forty-four percent of Germans, for example, see \u201ca fundamental contradiction\u00a0between Islam and German culture and values.\u201d The figure for the same in Finland is a remarkable\u00a062 percent; in Italy, it\u2019s 53 percent. To be a Muslim in Europe is to be mistrusted, visible and vulnerable. ..."}
