Anti-Muslim mobilizations form a transnational movement with distinct ideology and policy reach.

Evidence

Rather than thinking of anti-Muslim political mobilizations in isolation, it is important to see them as part of a transnational political movement with intellectual, political and activist ‘wings’. This movement has an ideology that draws on historical forms of racism and nativism, but it has also gone beyond these to develop its own political language. The political influence of the movement varies from country to country, but it is undoubtedly in the US, under the administration of Donald Trump, that its direct impact on public policy is currently most visible. The speed with which its apocalyptic and conspiratorial narratives of western capitulation to ‘Islamization’ have entered the US political mainstream, using the Republican party as an electoral vehicle, provides an important warning for those of us living in countries where the political influence of these ideas is currently more limited. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 545
