Talking About Islamophobia? What Is It and How Do

Islamophobia is a form of religious prejudice aimed at Muslims and it is on the rise. But not everyone agrees that Islamophobia exists – and some people think that we should be afraid of Muslims and Islam. This book shares the perspectives of those who have faced discrimination due to their faith, and the experiences of those on the frontlines of hate crime where Islamophobia is found – in the media, in politics and in daily interactions. Together with contributors from different sections of the Muslim community, the authors talk about their experiences of religious discrimination and anti-Muslim hate crimes, look at how international politics can affect ordinary people, and discuss what can be done to make our society a safe space for us all.
