Director of Al Hokama Center For Peace Research: Muslims living in West face discrimination due to their identity
Baku, May 27, AZERTAC
“In the modern era, especially with the advancement of artificial intelligence and technology, Islamophobia has become an increasingly dangerous phenomenon. Misinformation spread through algorithms and the rapidly spread stereotypes on social media have contributed to the widespread negative image of Muslims. This not only affects a single religious community but also the social cohesion as a whole,” said Samir Boudinar, Director of the Al Hokama Center for Peace Research and a member of the Muslim Council of Elders' Executive Office, at the plenary session themed “Youth Call for Inclusion: Combating Bias and Misconceptions” held as part of the international conference titled “Islamophobia in Focus: Unveiling Bias, Shattering Stigmas”.
“Muslim youth living in the West sometimes face discrimination, pressure, and isolation due to their identity. However, this situation also increases their responsibility and role in society. They must not only share their own stories but also convey the peaceful nature of Islam and its cultural values to broader audiences,” he added.
