Islamophobia Watch France's top stories

87 stories monitored in the last 7 days

Islamophobia in France — monitored, translated, and contextualised for English-speaking audiences.

Every story sourced and attributed.

An independent monitoring project tracking Islamophobia and celebrating Muslim life in France — for English-speaking audiences around the world.

France has the highest proportion of Muslim citizens in the entirety of Europe. What happens in France matters; it can be either a guiding light or a warning sign for other European countries and other European Muslims. Islamophobia Watch France is a way for English-speaking audiences to understand what is happening in the world of French Muslims, and to peel back the lid on the media and Islamophobic leaders who fuel anti-Muslim hatred. We shine a light on the problem of Islamophobia in France, while also ensuring we highlight the array of achievements, big and small, of France's Muslims.

"The world's nearly 2 billion Muslims reflect humanity in all its magnificent diversity. They hail from all corners of the world. They are Arabs, Africans, Europeans, Americans, and Asians."

— UN Secretary General António Guterres
