Muslim community living in Holland is concerned that the country might fall into the hands of the Christian right groups.
In an interview with Turkish newspaper, the head of Islamic Council of Holland, Rasit Bal that two decades ago, Islam as a lifestyle or worldview was problematized in Holland, but now being Muslim is becoming a problem for far right defenders.
In this way, the threat becomes very close to Muslims. If the far right was against Islam, it would be discussed, but they are directly against Muslims. The polls for the upcoming elections in March indicate that the far right party will receive the most votes.
Modern West European societies and the enlightenment culture are tested again over Muslims.
The enlightenment culture that prioritizes multiculturalism and allows the co-existence of different religions, seemingly, will fail.
Fascism may take the lead. The racism problem has not been solved permanently by the enlightenment.
The society that exterminated Jews in World War II is returning to that point over Muslims.
Preventing this is the responsibility of every part of society in Europe.
We are ready to undertake a role to cope with the problem. But it must be noted that Muslims are victims of Islamophobia and also are facing several accusations.
