Islamophobia as racism
Writer Amina Sharif argues that Islamophobia is not merely individual prejudice, but a global racist system that portrays Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim as security threats, justifying their surveillance, exclusion, and exposure to premature death. She contends that the rhetoric of “terrorism” and Israel’s occupation of Palestine have helped entrench this system and spread its practices, which appear—despite differing contexts—in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere. She concludes that confronting anti-Muslim racism requires resisting the political, social, and economic conditions that threaten Muslims’ lives, and working toward justice.
