The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On March 15th, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution establishing March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia. The resolution was introduced by Pakistan’s representative, marking the anniversary of the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand in 2019. The resolution was sponsored by 55 predominantly Muslim member states and passed consensus with all 193 states in support. Nicolas de Riviere, France’s representative to the U.N., acknowledged that “Islamophobia has no agreed definition in international law.” This resolution that named March 15th as a commemorative day to fight against Islamophobia, failed to explore the nature and scope of the concept. Numerous outspoken Ex-Muslims take issue with the word “Islamophobia,” as many find that the word is used to silence their criticism of their former faith. Muhammad Syed, executive director of Ex-Muslims of North America, has been quoted as saying that the word Islamophobia has been “weaponized to conflate criticism of Islam as a belief system with discrimination against Muslims as people.”
