"Mr President, we have seen an increase in anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and violent extremism. These worrying trends must be equally addressed by the EU. Anti-Semitism is not new in Europe and unfortunately it is still a reality for many European Jews. Similarly, Muslims are experiencing hate harassment, violence and discrimination. There is a need for EU legislation. Preventive legislation must be put in place through passing tougher laws. The Commission should propose a framework for national strategies to combat discrimination in a comprehensive way and to promote full inclusion. There is a crucial need for interfaith dialogue and cooperation. I have seen the success of this work in my own home town, Manchester, where Jewish and Muslim communities are working together to combat hatred and discrimination. Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia cannot be seen as a Jewish-Muslim problem, but rather a European issue jeopardising the democratic fundamental rights and the values of all EU citizens. Embracing diversity is the only way forward if we are to find hope."@en1
