"Fear and/or hatred of Muslims, or of the religion of Islam, and/or a desire to
limit the civil liberties of Muslims."
In our glossary of religious and spiritual terms, we note that Islamophobia:
"... is often exhibited by a person attributing the
actions of a few extreme, violent, fundamentalist Muslim terrorists to the
entire population of Muslims or to the religion of Islam."
This section discusses Islamophobia starting before the 9/11 terrorist attack on New York City and Washington and continuing until the present time.
