\n———————————-
\nRepresentatives of Muslim organizations and activists gathered outside the Dutch Parliament in The Hague to protest what they described as growing Islamophobia and discrimination against Muslims in daily life, calling on authorities to take stronger measures to address the issue.<\/p>\n
During the gathering, participants submitted a document titled \u201cStatement Against Islamophobia\u201d to members of parliament, outlining demands for greater protection against discrimination and hate, and urging more serious action against practices affecting Muslims\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n
