Our monthly round-up is an overview of the most significant results of our monitoring of traditional and new media in Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.

Panic and Hate of Muslims Amplified by Media Across Europe, Holocaust Imagery Deployed by Greek Newspaper to Criticise Government, Islam Compared to Antichrist by Polish Editor
In January’s monitoring, we saw various news outlets publish a variety of anti-Muslim and antisemitic stories raising alarm over individuals’ right to wear religious clothing (and “Afro hair”) at schools and universities, fringe and mainstream media giving a platform to voices claiming that Muslim migrants pose an existential threat to Europe, a Polish Catholic editor comparing Islam to the Antichrist and a Greek newspaper using imagery evocative of the Holocaust to criticise proposed education reforms.
