The incidents, predominantly verbal aggression, often targeted Muslim women wearing veils or niqabs. Notably, all women interviewed wearing niqabs reported Islamophobic experiences.

The survey, which included 299 participants, also found a decrease in witnessed incidents, from 34% in 2022 to 29% in 2023. The highest recorded victim rate was in 2020, at 45%.

In 2022, 5% of respondents experienced physical violence due to their faith, dropping to 1% in 2023. Verbal attacks were most common in workplaces, educational institutions, social media, and public spaces.

An Islamophobic sticker found on the Le Juste Milieu mosque in Bonnevoie in February 2024 highlights ongoing tensions, with an investigation currently underway.

Despite these incidents, 77% of surveyed Muslims felt safe in Luxembourg, with 64% feels less discriminated against compared to neighboring countries.
