Racist graffiti and pig heads thrown into mosques, veiled Muslim women subjected to insults and harassments in the streets, the Internet awash threats against Muslim – tolerance in Europe got limits.
After bloody attacks in Paris, anti-Islamic mood emerges all over the European Union countries. In some places the atmosphere is really red-hot: police step up regular mosques patrol while women wearing hijabs are strongly recommended to use personal transport and avoid showing in the public.
