Showing Prejudice Red Card

Friday, 28 April 2023 | 7 Shawwal, 1444 AH

Islamophobia manifests in different ways and continues to be a disturbing problem. It’s therefore most important that we talk about the issues and encourage victims to do the same.

Open and honest discussions should happen, with people feeling safe to raise concerns, thoughts and challenges – as well as offering solutions.

According to experts, acts of Islamophobia are not limited to overt hate crimes such as verbal or physical assaults or property destruction. Its functioning extends beyond this to more covert structural forms. Stereotyping, marginalisation, discrimination, and exclusion manifest in ways you may not even be aware of.

We are updating the scorecard of some organizations that have done the right things and others that have clearly shown a bias. The first step towards addressing this problem by the affected organizations is to acknowledge it.

Islamophobia may be found in diverse settings throughout the society. By denying the existence of Islamophobia, we disregard many people’s lived experiences and the potential to address one of societal inequalities.

MPAC will continue to tackle the inequality of religious discrimination and bias in our society because by ridding the society of this repulsive problem, all Nigerians gain.
