Hatred and hostility towards Muslims
The Fritt Ord Foundation’s project “Islam in Norway” invites the public to an open meeting about hatred and hostility towards Muslims, from 6-7.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 9 October 2019 at Kulturhuset, Youngs gate 6, Oslo.
When do hatred and hostility become dangerous, and why do these phenomena exist? What is it like to be subjected to hatred and hostility because of ethnic and religious affiliation? How do hatred and hostility towards Muslims influence society, language and identity, and what do we see when we draw parallels between hatred of Muslims and anti-Semitism? Exactly what is being done to identify and prevent this phenomenon?
Conversation with Cora Alexa Døving, senior researcher at the Holocaust Centre, Lasse Josephsen, writer and author, Usman Asif, writer, and Abetare Krasniqi, chief inspector at the National Criminal Investigation Service (Kripos).
The moderator will be Kaia Storvik, editor-in-chief of Agenda Magazine.

The event is free of charge and open to the public. Welcome!
