OSLO — Norway has launched a national platform to document and combat Islamophobia during the “Stop Islamophobia” conference in Oslo on Sunday.
The digital portal will collect field reports and data on hate incidents targeting Muslims, creating a comprehensive database for developing effective anti-discrimination policies.
The Islamic Dialogue Network organized the conference, gathering imams, researchers, politicians, youth leaders, and civil society representatives from across Norway.
The network emphasized that Islamophobia represents a national concern affecting social trust and democratic foundations, not merely a minority issue.
Oslo Mayor Anne Lindboe officially inaugurated the platform, praising the network’s role in building a fairer and more cohesive society. She stressed the necessity of collaboration between religious groups, civic organizations, and government authorities to effectively counter hate and discrimination.
The network warned that stereotypes perpetuated in daily life, employment markets, and social media deepen fear and social divisions.
The platform launch marks the beginning of a renewed national commitment to challenge hate speech through education, dialogue, and institutional action rather than the conclusion of efforts.
Strengthening cooperation between mosques, public agencies, and civil society organizations remains the immediate next step.
The platform represents Norway’s latest effort to address religious discrimination systematically through evidence-based approaches and multi-stakeholder engagement.
