Recital J
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
|---|---|
| J. whereas some Islamist networks are able, in their institutional relations, to adopt the vocabulary of fundamental rights, inclusion, diversity, intercultural dialogue, anti-racism and the fight against discrimination, while promoting in other spaces logics of separation, community pressure or contestation of democratic principles; | J. whereas the European Network Against Racism has been working in partnership with the European Commission since 1998 and, in the same year as the suspension of its funding by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), the Agency recognised the organisation’s strong operational capacity and effective implementation of its activities; |

| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
|---|---|
| K. whereas diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-discrimination frameworks may be diverted as vectors of institutional legitimisation, by integrating a politicised religious identity into legitimate causes for the protection of minorities; whereas the necessary fight against discrimination targeting people of Muslim faith must not become a Trojan horse enabling the political recognition of organised Islamist actors; | K. whereas Islamophobia is a specific form of racism occurring when Muslims or those perceived to be Muslims suffer from discrimination, stigmatisation and exclusion in all areas of life, such as education, employment, vocational training, services and political participation; |

| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
|---|---|
| L. whereas the continued provision of EU funding to FEMYSO, despite its documented links to the Muslim Brotherhood and its participation in events hosted by European institutions, illustrates the particular urgency of addressing Islamist entryism; whereas this example highlights the need for full transparency regarding the final recipients of EU funding and for vigilance against the institutional legitimisation of structures linked to the Muslim Brotherhood; | L. whereas any action against demonstrable threats to democratic processes must be based on clear, objective and individually assessed evidence, and must respect freedom of religion, association and expression; |
