With anti-Islamic sentiment on the rise in Europe, Austria has passed a controversial law on Islam that imposes restrictions on Islam, while France, Switzerland and Germany are very likely to take similar measures to prevent the Islamization of their countries. However, such moves would apparently fuel the discrimination and intolerance prevailing in European countries, making the Muslim community in Europe more vulnerable than ever.Before the Austrian parliament passed the restrictive law to prevent radicalization, France revealed a plan regarding its Muslim community, including training Imams and funding mosques. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls similarly raised the notion of banning the foreign funding of Islamic organizations, saying that France "seeks to establish a model of Islam that is fully integrated, fully compatible with the values of the Republic." France is home to the largest Muslim population in Europe, estimated at over eight million. However, French Muslims do not feel safe due to low security measures imposed by the French government compared to other French minorities under threat.Apart from France, Switzerland, one of Europe's most tolerant countries, suffers from growing anti-Muslim sentiments, as calls to curb immigration from Muslim countries have recently increased, especially after the Charlie Hebdo shootings. However, Switzerland's Muslims have long been the target of anti-foreign sentiment.Europe is experiencing a remarkable change, as anger, hatred and intolerance have penetrated European society. The current Islamophobic trend in European countries has left many Muslims vulnerable to violent attacks as the new proposed regulation of European governments regarding the Muslim community may further spur extremism.The growing hatred directed at the Muslim community, further fueled both by the deadly attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris and the Copenhagen shooting, has received significant support from Europeans leaning toward far-right populism. This is evident in countries like France, Germany, Austria, Sweden and the U.K, where Islamophobic movements have gained traction.Anti-Islamic movements, including the Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West (PEGIDA), along with its copycat groups operating across Europe like Stop Islamization of Europe (SIOE), recently have been attracting an increasing number of supporters. The marches grow larger with support from disenchanted Europeans, who oppose the "Islamization" of their country.Austria's Islam bill aims to prohibit foreign funding of Islamic organizations in Austria and imposes a standardized German translation of the Quran and other religious texts. It also prohibits imams from being appointed from abroad, instead making it mandatory that they receive education from the theology departments of Austrian universities. In doing so, according to some experts, Austria is aiming to establish its own version of Islam. Some believe that the consent for only one particular translation of the Quran is a sign of the government's wish to control Islam through its own understanding of it. They also suggest the move indicates that the Quran is considered problematic by the government.
