How- ever, we may say that it takes a new form of total rejection of admitting any refugees in the Czech Republic.
Rejecting Muslims and rejecting refugees merged into one complex of hate speech and hostile proclamations by politicians, journalists, artists, public personalities, and social media users. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2a/pw_1/1715625529416.pdf | https://www.oic-oci.org/upload/islamophobia/2019/SETA_European_Islamophobia_Report_2019.pdf | Denmark |
We are in the situation in which the president of the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy party, which is in parlia- ment, advocates for banning Islam and thus limiting the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of denomination.
There is an increasing trend of dealing with hate speech by the state using legal means, p... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2a/pw_1/1715625529416.pdf | https://www.oic-oci.org/upload/islamophobia/2019/SETA_European_Islamophobia_Report_2019.pdf | Denmark |
Even though the number and visibility of Muslims and Muslim community orga- nizations remain low, there is general fear and distrust directed at them.
This makes the community extremely cautious and limits its capacity to advocate for itself and control the narrative.

The affair with an attempt by citizens, their initiatives, and some politicians to admit 50 orphan children from Greek camps and later the Greek call for admitting unaccompanied minors with health problems show how deep the lack of compassion is for those perceived by the majority as undesirable.

Due to this type of hostility and radical rejection, the whole society becomes vulnerable to fake news and false alarms spread about Muslims in most media.

Musíme však zdůraznit, že má novou tvář, která je patrná v naprostém odmítání přijímání uprchlíků Českou republikou.
Odmítání muslimů a odmítání uprchlíků splynulo do jakéhosi komplexu hovoru z nenávisti a nepřátelských proklamací po- litiků, novinářů, umělců, veřejných osobností a uživatelů sociálních sítí.

Z toho důvodu je muslimská komunita extrémně opatrná a limitovaná ve svém potenciálu se svých členů a členek zastávat a kontrolovat škodlivý diskurz, který v souvislosti s muslimy dominuje v české společnosti.

The most important fact for anti-Muslim discourse is its close relatedness to the issue of refugees and particularly to the relocation quotas problem, also documented in the previous report.
The Czech Republic remains adamant about not accepting any refugees either in the framework of relocation quotas or on its own.

In the Czech Republic, we can see the mixing of Islamophobia and racism (directed mostly at non-white people).
In the public discourse, mentioning refugees usually leads to discussing Muslims and Islam in a negative way.

Civil society backed by a politician from the Christian Democrat Party developed an initiative to admit a few tens of such children.

In the opinion of this author, this shows how deeply Islamophobia has penetrated Czech society: even children or young adults deserve no compassion or trust but are instead left on their own in terrible conditions in overcrowded refugee camps in Greece.

One of the commentators suggest- ed that the Libyan man should be “immediately shot, then sewn into pig skin, put in the coffin made of zinc, and sent to his country of origin with a message that you all will end up like this if you break the law in such an appalling manner”.4 According to the said report, the Prague p... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2a/pw_1/1715625529416.pdf | https://www.oic-oci.org/upload/islamophobia/2019/SETA_European_Islamophobia_Report_2019.pdf | Denmark |

The mainstreaming of Islamophobia continues and it is now well-established in the political discourse.

The prime minister´s argument was that Czechs didn´t ad- mit Ukrainian refugees either and that the Czech Republic helps by having already invested 2.5 billion CZK in the hospital in Syria, which also serves Syrian children.7 Finally, Minister of Interior Jan Hamáček, who initially claimed that the Czech Re- public has... | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2a/pw_1/1715625529416.pdf | https://www.oic-oci.org/upload/islamophobia/2019/SETA_European_Islamophobia_Report_2019.pdf | Denmark |
