Most Muslim discrimination victims in Europe do not report it

Evidence

Of those who did become a victim, 79 per cent were unlikely to report their experience of discrimination. The main reasons given for not reporting discrimination was that ‘nothing would happen or change’ by reporting their experience of discrimination (59 per cent), while many (38 per cent) did not see the point of reporting discrimination, as it was just ‘part of their normal everyday existence’. More worryingly, around 80 per cent of victims could not name either an organisation or institution – official or otherwise – where they offered support or advice to people who have been discriminated against. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 566
