EMISCO is a European civil society network working against Islamophobia, racism and discrimination, and for the full participation of Muslim communities in public life.
Copenhagen’s “remigration” demonstration exposed more than one Nazi salute: the blurred boundary between mainstream immigration politics, anti-Muslim rhetoric and Europe’s resurgent far right.
Terrorism has no religion, no nationality and no justification. The memory of the victims must never be used as a pretext for Islamophobia or collective blame.
EMISCO expresses serious concern over a public commemoration in Belgrade honouring Ratko Mladić, convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
EMISCO expresses deep concern over the fatal police shooting of Halit Altun in Eupen, Belgium, and recalls the murder of Marwa El-Sherbini in Germany.
Our work
For more than fifteen years, EMISCO has brought the experiences of Muslim communities to the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations: through statements, training on hate crime monitoring, youth exchanges and public events with partners of all faiths and none.
