TEHRAN (IQNA) – A poll conducted by Odoxa institute shows that 77 percent of the French feel Islamophobia has been on the rise in the country.

The poll also shows a feeling of increasing anti-Jewish sentiments in France.
Islamophobia attacks have considerably increased in France since the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January that left 17 people killed, including two Muslims.
Seeing the Charlie Hebdo attack as a betrayal of Islamic faith, leaders from Muslim countries and organizations have joined worldwide condemnation of the attack, saying the attackers should not be associated with Islam.
Yet, the National Observatory Against Islamophobia said over hundreds of incidents have been reported to the police since then.
The rise in attacks in recent weeks represents an increase of 110 percent over the same period in 2014.
