Qu’est-ce que l’islamophobie? �Fear or hatred against Islam or Muslims. �Also refers to the exclusion of Muslims in social, economic, and public life. �The perception that Islam has no values in common with other cultures. �The thought that Islam is a violent political ideology and not a religion.
Les Médias � European Newspapers have published islamophobic cartoons. One depicted Mohammed as a killer. • European television broadcasting inaccurate information about Muslims. • Mostly Fundamentalist Information. � Newspapers and News Stations have broadcasted Muslims as being a violent group of people.
Avant 9/11 �There was still violence in Islam before 911. Violence found in incidences like the first Arab-Israeli War, and the Barbary Wars. �However, Islam was not the headline of hate it is today.
Après 9/11 �After 911, fundamentalist Islam was put under the spotlight. It was there where most people learned of the fundamentalist culture, before the moderate one. � This brought upon racial hate, ignorance, and fueled the fire for aggression. �Unfortunately this is the incident Muslims can not seem to escape, and the start of a mass prejudice against their people.
Des Incidents L’Islamophobique � A rise in the number of hate crimes against Muslims in London is being encouraged by mainstream politicians and sections of the media, a study written by a former Scotland Yard counter-terrorism officer. � Graffiti on mosques. � Anti-mosque protests and riots. � A mosque was set on fire in Sweden.
