The Swedish government has announced that it will no longer use the term "Islamophobia" in official communications.. There Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (pictured) declared in Parliament that the term is problematic Why focuses on the idea of a fear irrational at the individual level and not on a discriminatory preconception.
Stockholm will instead adopt the terms “anti-Muslim racism” or “anti-Muslim hatred” And intends to promote the same change at the European Union and the United Nations.
The announcement followed a parliamentary question from Sweden Democrats MP Richard Jomshof, who argued that politicians and journalists spoke uncritically of "Islamophobia", an ideologically charged term that often It is used to silence liberal Muslims who support women's rights and democratic reforms..
GAPF Ambassador Faw Azzat welcomed the decision. (Glöm Aldrig Pela och Fadime / “Never forget Pela and Fadime”), organization born to fight “honor violence” (honour violence) in Sweden and helps women escape forced marriages and other forms of oppression. Azzat said that «"Islamophobia" is "a word created by Islamists themselves to equate criticism of a religion with racism against people. A semantic device disguised as 'anti-racism.'"».
The Swedish government's decision underlines the importance of language, a debated topic and rather dear especially to the woke faction, which made language one of its battlefields. Let us recall for example the crusades to introduce neutral language into schools and the law, a battle won years ago in Sweden with the creation of the neuter pronoun het, which the Swedish language did not possess.
Nevertheless Today the mainstream media remains silent on this government decision to abandon the word "Islamophobia"«. Among the few who speak about it in English are precisely the religious media, starting with the Muslim media, which try to distort the news in a victimist and alarmist sense (for example, like this on MuslimTV: Sweden removes the word "Islamophobia," but the discrimination it describes is on the rise across Europe.).
Christian websites such as ECLJ (European Centre for Law and Justice) also commented on the news: «By officially abandoning the word 'Islamophobia', The Swedish government has revived a sensitive debate: how can discrimination against Muslims be fought without limiting the freedom to criticize religion? But behind this terminological debate lies a deeper evolution. While European and international institutions are multiplying mechanisms dedicated to the fight against "anti-Muslim racism" or "anti-Muslim hatred", there is currently no similar instrument to combat anti-Christian hatred..» (Here (the full ECLJ article).
Meanwhile in Germany one study substantial (600 pages) from last March, funded by the Ministry of the Interior and Family Affairs and published by the Federal Criminal Police (BKA) highlighted how Islamist radicalization, especially among the under 40s, has reached very high levels thanks above all to social media and platforms such as Discord, Instagram, X. 45.1% of German Muslims under 40 show obvious Islamist attitudes, 44.3% believe that only Islam can solve current problems, 23.8% consider Islamic theocracy the best form of government, 27.7% think that Christianity cannot guarantee morality, 25.1% think that Coprano should prevail over the laws, and 44.8% judge Western sexual morality to be corrupt. Islamism is correlated with even dangerous levels of anti-Semitism. In 2025, 27.21% of German Islamists declared openly anti-Semitic views, in 2021 it was less than half, an increase especially visible among young people.
