Guterres urges action against ‘rising tide of anti-Muslim hatred’

(UN News) The UN chief on Monday urged countries to “work together” and eradicate a rising tide of anti-Muslim hate, calling for a rejection of “the narratives of fear and exclusion”. As conflict and instability rage, “millions of Muslims around the world carry that pain with them,” said António Guterres marking the International Day to Combat Islamophobia: “Let us recommit to equality, human rights and dignity of every person, everywhere.”. The Secretary-General warned that for far too many Muslims living as minorities, their daily lives face being shaped by exclusion, institutional discrimination, socioeconomic marginalisation, unwarranted surveillance and profiling. – Guterres urges action against ‘rising tide of anti-Muslim hatred’ | UN News
