Tuesday 10 Feb 2015 - 12:30 Makkah mean time-21-4-1436  Western media fuel Islamophobia Tehran, (IINA) - European campaigners say Muslims are suffering a backlash of violent abuse amid rising Islamophobic sentiments following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, Press TV reported siting Tehran Time news.
The online news reported Tuesday that there has been a significant rise in incidents of hate and violence against Muslims in Europe.
Analysts blame mainstream western media for its grossly disproportionate representation of the facts of terrorism and its causes whilst ignoring the vast majority of Muslims who are trying to teach people about the truth of their religion.
Many Muslims and non-Muslims say that Muslims are suffering from persecution, terrorism and Islamophobia, yet many western government and media outlets treat Muslims as the problem.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif warned against the escalation of “the quite unsettling and pervasive manifestations of Islamophobia” in the aftermath of the January 7 attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
In a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon released recently, Zarif said Muslims across the world condemned in clear and unequivocal terms the unjustifiable killings by members of an infamous, violent and extremist group.
He added that such senseless resorts to violence has no place in Islam and its exalted teachings and are not acceptable to Muslims, but that the perpetrators who seek to spread Islamophobia are trying to portray a different image of the religion.
