Roy Brown

Roy Brown is the former president of the International Humanist and Ethical Union.

Brown strongly criticised a report on Islamophobia by the special rapporteur on racism at the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2007:

What little hostility towards Islam that does exist among indigenous Europeans has not arisen in a vacuum, but is largely a reaction to Islamic extremism. More and more European mosques are promoting hardline Islamic ideology , including demonisation of Jews, infidels and homosexuals, and contempt for Western culture and civilisation.
