French Gather to Protest against Rising Islamophobia
Attacks on mosques prompted the police to provide special protection, but these demonstrators say the real problem challenge lies in everyday life.
Muslims are being asked to justify and excuse for the attacks.
Demonstrators taking part in this protest say discriminating against minorities can only be counter-productive in a country that has gone through shocking levels of violence in recent days, Press TV reported.
Rights groups say: while criticizing Islamophobia is easy, preventing it is getting harder due to the rise of far right groups.
They also say the government has to ensure it treats every citizen from all backgrounds on an equal footing.
Authorities have banned a demonstration by groups that are against inclusive policies.
But these demonstrators say, while banning a demonstration is easy, banning discrimination in people’s minds is more difficult.
