Imam Yahya Pallavicini, president of Italy\u2019s COREIS Islamic organization, has voiced concerns over the systemic marginalization of Muslims in Europe, stating that they are persistently treated as “second-class citizens,” an article published on En.Apa.az reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that Islamophobic rhetoric is spreading widely, particularly against the backdrop of radicalization narratives, and called for greater awareness and dialogue to counter institutional biases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COREIS, which represents Italy\u2019s Sunni Muslim community, has urged European governments to implement urgent reforms addressing discrimination in employment, education, and religious freedoms.
