(RTL) Whilst Muslim residents of the Grand Duchy broadly feel well-integrated in Luxembourg, 60% of respondents to an inquiry maintain that Islamophobia exists in Luxembourg.
The results of an inquiry held by the Islamophobia Observatory, a non-profit founded in 2016 to promote intercultural dialogue in Luxembourg, reveal that Islamophobia is present in Luxembourg.
Around 20,000 residents of Luxembourg are Muslims and feel broadly well-integrated in the country. The inquiry noted that the sense of integration in Luxembourg was stronger than in the neighbouring countries. Yves Boden, the Observatory’s president, confirmed that the inquiry shows a sense of contentment in Luxembourg, yet this does not mean that Islamophobia — prejudice and hostility against Muslims — does not exist in the Grand Duchy.
