lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, this House has repeatedly called for the right to respect freedom of belief and the right to practice one’s faith, particularly when we are talking about other countries. The European Convention on Human Rights states in Article 9 that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. As has been mentioned, the European Union has employment legislation relating to non—discrimination on grounds of freedom of belief – amongst other grounds – and general legislation concerning anti-discrimination on grounds of race or ethnic origin. Given all this, it is clear that the European Union and its Member States still have considerable work to do in tackling prejudice. We are seeing a rise in hate speech in general, even against people with disabilities. We are seeing a rise in anti-Semitism, as the US State Department reported today, and we are also seeing a rise in anti-Muslim prejudice, of which we hear far too much within this House. There is a gender dimension to the latter as well. A UK report published today says that Muslim women are more likely to be attacked, online and in real life, than men All of this hate speech and division and these acts of violence work against community cohesion, social peace and the quality of life. Member States certainly need to take action to promote respect for diversity in their parliaments, in their societies and in their classrooms. So I welcome the Commission’s statement and wish that Member States would actually implement the legislation that already exists."@en1
