The United Nations has decried prejudice against Islam and Muslims.
UN officials, including Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, spoke on Wednesday during a high-level virtual event to mark this year’s International Day to Combat Islamophobia.
The event came days after the UN Human Rights Council released a report indicating that “suspicion, discrimination and outright hatred toward Muslims” had risen to “epidemic proportions”.
Citing the report, Guterres in a video message gave recent examples of Islamophobia to include “disproportionate restrictions on the ability of Muslims to manifest their beliefs”.
Guterres added: “Unfortunately, far too often, stereotypes are further compounded by elements of the media and some in positions of power.
