| | Asia Times: UN documents wave of anti-Muslim reactions |
 | | GENEVA - A new United Nations study highlights a wave of anti-Islamic and anti-Arab reactions in Australia, Canada, the United States and several European Union countries in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. |
| | The report, drawn up by UN Special Rapporteur Maurice Glele- Ahanhanzo, documents hundreds of incidents of racism, discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance against Muslims that occurred in those countries in the last few months of 2001. |
| | Presented last week to the UN Commission on Human Rights, the report also examines incidents of anti- Semitism, violence by extreme right groups, the situation of the Romani people - better known as gypsies - and racial hatred expressed over the Internet. |
