(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 9. Muslims in France
suffer from Islamophobia at state-owned enterprises, Deputy
Chairman of the State Committee for Work with Religious Entities of
the Republic of Azerbaijan Gunduz Ismayilov said, Trend reports.
He made a remark during panel discussions at the international
scientific conference Embracing Diversity: Tackling Islamophobia in
2024.
"France has 2,500 mosques and a Muslim population of over 6
million. Although the number of mosques appears to be great, the
vast majority of them are one-room structures. When Muslims build
buildings of worship, their financial capacity is limited, and when
they obtain financial assistance from other Muslim countries,
France objects, claiming that these countries are attempting to
Muslimize France. The bulk of cases of prejudice are related to
Muslim women and their clothing," he said.
To note, an international scientific conference Embracing
Diversity: Tackling Islamophobia in 2024 dedicated to the 2nd
anniversary of the International Day Against Islamophobia is being
held in Baku under the joint organization of the International
Center for Multiculturalism, the Center for the Analysis of
International Relations, the G20 Interreligious Dialogue Forum and
the Baku Initiative Group.
