(Dawn) European Union Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini on Monday described rising Islamophobia as a threat not only for Muslims but for all of European society as it “threatens diversity.”
Mogherini, who is on an official visit to Pakistan, made the comments during a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi after a meeting in Islamabad.
“The strength of our societies lies in our diversity, and whoever attacks the diversity of our societies attacks the entire society not just one segment of it,” she said. “This is why for the European Union, institutions, for me personally, for all our member states, it is a priority to make sure that Islamophobia doesn’t find any place in the European Union,” she asserted.
