New Reporting Point to Track Violence Against Mosques

NOS18 September · 09:446 days ago

The Contact Organisation for Muslims and Government (CMO) is launching a national reporting point for incidents at Islamic institutions to address the lack of structured data on mosque-related violence. CMO chairman Muhsin Köktas states this platform offers a more accessible way for communities to report issues, noting that previous channels often yielded no feedback. Police acknowledge low reporting rates for discrimination but encourage direct contact to enable action. The initiative follows incidents such as vandalism at Rotterdam's Mevlana Mosque, with Friday prayers highlighting the need to combat normalized discrimination.
