"PES to Tackle EU Islamophobia
BRUSSELS, August 3--European socialist organizations have decided to stem the increasing Islamophobia in Europe by breaking the monopoly on the debate which has, up until now, primarily belonged to far-right and ultranationalist groups.
The Party of European Socialists (PES) -- a caucus representing 214 members of the European Parliament (MEPs) drawn from 33 socialist and social democratic parties -- has created a committee to seek ways to combat Islamophobia. Believing that Islam is now a European religion, the 25-member committee wants to 'listen' to the 20 million Muslims now living in Europe in a bid to understand their problems, as well as provide solutions to alleviate their grievances."
