« Spécialement dans la deuxième moitié des années 2010, il s’est installé dans l’espace public un climat de free for all où plus aucune parole raciste n’était taboue. Des gens ont été ciblés, conspués harcelés, agressés, assassinés sur la base de leur appartenance religieuse.
Impossible de rappeler ou de compiler tous les commentaires haineux sur les réseaux sociaux, toutes les chroniques malveillantes dans les médias, toutes les agressions filmées dont nous aurons été témoins.
Ce mal existe. Il est profond et dangereux. »
