Thousands marched from Gare du Nord toward Nation under the call “Stop Islamophobia.” Organizers protested attacks and discrimination targeting Muslims and challenged the treatment of visible Muslim identity in public life. The demonstration became politically contentious, including disputes about the wording of the call and who could speak for anti-racist politics. Estimates differed: organizers reported a larger turnout than the police. The event shows how Muslim-led and allied groups made Islamophobia a public issue while facing pressure to justify the language used to describe it.
