UN: Muslim Africans face discrimination in Germany
 [AA.TR] Moslems of African descent face growing discrimination in Germany due to worrying levels of Islamophobia...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... , a UN monitoring group warned on Monday.
"Moslems of African descent are facing increasingly difficult times in the enjoyment of their rights due to increased Islamophobia and Afrophobia," he said. While praising Germany’s promotion of human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... and diversity, Sunga expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... over widespread problems faced by Africans, and said Moslem Africans often become victims of discrimination in the workplace or in schools. "Moslem women of African descent face further discrimination when it comes to access to the labor market," he said, referring to discrimination against them due their appearance or Moslem dress. "Many Moslem students of African descent describe their experiences in school as traumatic as they experience not only anti-Black racism but also anti-Moslem racism," he also added. The UN’s expert group visited Germany this month to monitor the human rights situation of people of African descent in Germany, whose population estimated at 800,000. Posted by: Fred 2017-02-28 |
