Cileungsi, Bogor Regency, MINA – The United Kingdom (UK) scholar, Dr. Daud Abdullah said, Muslims especially in Europe continue to struggle to overcome social ills, social ills, political prejudice and religious bigotry.

“There, we see manifestations growing, Sweden, Austria, UK, and most worryingly in France,” said Dr. Daud during the Tabligh Akbar Jama’ah Muslimin (Hizbullah) at the Al-Taqwa Mosque, Al Fatah Islamic Boarding School, Cileungsi, Bogor Regency on Saturday night virtually.

Dr. Daud who is also the Director of Middle East Monitor (MEMO) explained that after the disaster of the second world war, Europe was back hundreds of years back. People have to fight for it.

In the UK, Daud said, typical hatred was poured out against Muslims on April 29, 2013 with the murder of an 82-year-old grandfather while returning from a mosque in Birmingham.

The culprit was sentenced to 4 years in prison. But the lesson and moral underlying the tragic story is that the British government has not officially recognized Islamophobia of that level as a crime.

In Austria, Police conducted raids on 70 Muslim homes under the pretext of political Islam. It was the largest police operation ever in history.

Meanwhile in France, 780 Muslim organizations, including schools, mosques and businesses have closed.

“All in the name of preserving, secular nature. Actions and denial of Muslims are a space in the public, social domain and everything is kept secret. This is the design,” he said.

For this reason, Muslims in Europe are currently struggling to disseminate the truth about Islam by continuing to participate actively and productively and benefit society.
