\"\"In 2016, the Citizens’ Platform against Islamophobia has collected 573 incidents of Islamophobia, distributed in the following percentages: 14.14% acts against women and 4.01% against children, 12.57% incidents against mosques, 5.41% against refugees, 6.63% against non-Muslims (In this regard, Islamophobic Hate Speech against Pope Francis has even appeared).
\nThe increase compared to incidents in 2015 is 106.12%.
\nHIGHLIGHTS IN 2016: Growing Islamophobic bias of political leaders of parties of different ideologies.
\nPOLITICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL ISLAMOPHOBIA.
\nIn addition, the very active role of the extreme right and neo-Nazi groups, as can be seen in their threatening acts and their incessant campaigns, in the streets, in the media and on the Internet.
\nThis year the HATE CRIME for Islamophobic motivations has increased its violence and aggressiveness.
\nThere have been brutal attacks, which at their peak have resulted in the death of several Muslims.
\nIslamophobia against non-Muslims has even increased.
\nThe ATTACKS ON MOSQUES are a trickle that is repeated from time to time in different parts of Spain and with very different sociologies.
\nThis increase in hatred and violence has also occurred in GENDER ISLAMOPHOBIA with serious aggressions against Muslim women, even a pregnant woman was kicked in Barcelona.
\nA new form of violence has been born against Muslim women, who are being doubly attacked.
\nThe proliferation of Islamophobic messages on the Internet, particularly on social networks, is growing considerably.
\nThrough mobile phones and social networks, they carry out a constant campaign against Islam, Muslims and refugees focused on spreading fake news and asking the recipients of these messages, emails or whatsapp to forward them to their contacts, to create a chain of constant hatred.
\nDue to the increase in intensity and severity, this year we have produced a special section dedicated to Islamophobia on the Internet that is attached to this report.
\nCYBERHATE.
\nThe increase in Islamophobic HATE SPEECH continues, mainly by politicians and media related to the extreme right or the theory of the Clash of Civilizations.
\nOn occasion, populist and Islamophobic discourses are also used by the media and some politicians from parties and media not considered to be far-right. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Nor can we ignore the growing DENIALISM of the Islamic legacy of Spain, the manipulation of the history of Al-Andalus and the Islamophobic historical interpretations, makes us insist on the claim of the recovery of the ANDALUSIAN, MUDEJAR AND MOORISH HISTORICAL MEMORY OF SPAIN.
\nIslamophobia against REFUGEES is consolidated.
\nBY AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES: Andalusia, Catalonia and Madrid are the autonomous communities where the highest number of incidents of an Islamophobic nature occur. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
