(Anadolu) The disease of Islamophobia is making Europe into an open-air prison for the millions of Muslims living there, warned Turkey’s president on Wednesday.
“The virus of Islamophobia, which is as dangerous as the coronavirus, is spreading rapidly, especially in European countries,” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking in the Turkish capital Ankara.
The situation in Europe is alarming, and turned into a serious security risk for Muslims living there, he said at a competition on reading the Quran.
Erdogan said racism, discrimination, opposition to immigration, and intolerance are only a few of the “social diseases” raging across Europe.
