       2020: Millions of Muslims negatively affected by Islamophobia
       --- Quote ---
       > A defining feature of this year has been the apparent increase
       in anti-Muslim sentiment around the world. Whether in France or
       India, it is often driven by political rhetoric. In this report
       Obaida Hitto takes a look back at how Muslims and non Muslims
       have wrestled with the issue of identity in 2020.

       Question, if Jews are the proud owners of Hollywood as they
       would like you to believe they are, then aren't Jews responsible
       for much of the Islamaphobia in the west post 9/11 false-flag
       and leading up to 9/11?

       So what? How about the Jewish tribe is full of filthy disgusting
       racists for starters? Yet, we still find some Arabs who will

       Are Denmark's new 'dowry' concerns an excuse to crack down on
       Muslims?
       --- Quote ---
       > Denmark’s minister of integration has announced that the
       government will present a bill to free Muslims from the
       “old-fashioned norms of dowry”. But Dr Amani Hassani argues that
       “in the Islamic tradition, the mahr, or the dowry is seen as
       something to benefit the woman.” Watch the full interview here.

       Muslim girls.

       > Passed in May 2019, the law does not explicitly mention Muslim
       head coverings. Instead, it prohibits primary school children

       exemptions for the Jewish kippah

       religious freedom and make all Muslims into potential suspects.

       for the bill to be scrapped. About 150 people took part in the
       peaceful protest, including Muslims and non-Muslims.

       At least the French rightists are using the term "American" in
       the way that we recommend.

       Switzerland to vote for ‘niqab ban' referendum
       --- Quote ---
       > On March 7, Swiss nationals will vote on a ban over the use of
       face coverings in public, specifically targeting face veils worn
       by Muslim women. The right-wing initiative comes as hygiene
       masks are mandatory in crowded public places due to the current
       Covid-19 pandemic. For Muslim organisations, the campaign is
       "ridiculous" and "ironic."
