Racialized Islamophobia

Racialized Islamophobia refers to the prejudice and discrimination against Muslims that is intertwined with issues of race and ethnicity. It emerges from stereotypes and fears that paint Muslims as threats, often linked to their skin color or cultural background. This form of Islamophobia manifests in negative portrayals in media, social interactions, and systemic biases, leading to marginalization and violence against individuals and communities. It highlights how race and religion can intersect, affecting the experiences of those who may be both visibly identifiable as "different" and practicing a certain faith.
