In short, the U.N. High Commissioner jumped on a report by a Senegal native about bigotry in European countries toward Islam (calling it Islamophobia). The article provides bits and pieces of the report, unfortunately completely undermining whatever initial validity it had. To the complaint of European bigotry toward Islam due to Islamist extremism....why mentioning just Europe? To the mention of the anti-immigrant stand of a right-wing swiss party...what makes a right-wing political party in Switzeland different from another right-wing party in any other country? Not to mention that Switzeland is reputed to have always been a country extremely difficult to immigrate, no matter your religious or political affiliations.
And many other issues in this truncated piece of reporting.
I think that this is a very good example of how "News" is not doing its ethical job of informing...and the danger of misled conclusions by non-informed readers on global/international issues.
