Evidence

Tying Islam to terror, an import from the American War on Terror, arms the government in Beijing with license to unleash genocidal terror. A terror so omnipresent that the very fear of being rounded up may be even greater than the darkness of the concentration camps. The dark shadow of the “black gate,” what Uyghurs often call the camps, extends deep into cities, villages, and households in Xinjiang (East Turkistan). The gates of fear are ubiquitous, blurring the line between prison and life into an unrecognizable Orwellian whole. — Khaled A. Beydoun, The New Crusades_ Islamophobia and the…, 569

Categorization

  • XREF: Connects to Iftikhar’s global-synthesis treatment of Islamophobia circulation; also ties to the US War on Terror literature as the originating vocabulary.
  • ADDENDUM: Relevant to ‘On Sacrifice: The Real Kind, with Corpses’ only tangentially; strongest tie is that states frame threats to justify violence — but the more direct link is to the global Islamophobia synthesis the reader is building.
