| description |
Islamophobia is the “shorthand
way of referring to the dread or hatred of
Islam and, therefore, to fear or dislike all or most
Muslims” based upon an “unfounded hostility
towards
Islam.” This is the definition set out in the
influential report Islamophobia: A Challenge for
Us All (Runnymede Trust, 1997, p. 1), also known
as the Runnymede report, and is the definition
that has shaped and influenced most of the understandings
of the term, although the term
remains
contested and is sometimes used interchangeably
with neo-Orientalism, anti-Muslimism,
anti-Muslim racism, or “new” or cultural racism.
Much debate has surrounded the use of the term,
questioning its adequacy as an appropriate and
meaningful descriptor. However, since Islamophobia
has broadly entered the social and political
lexicon, arguments about the appropriateness
of the term now seem outdated. ...... |
