Fearing Muslims is the price of global liberal economic dominance

Evidence

Therefore, one aim of this book is to reiterate a commonality of interest among those who have been victims of neoliberalism’s global advance and to suggest that stoking the fear of Muslims is the price we pay for extending the global reign of liberal values, understood as a panoply of wide-ranging invocations of “freedom,” privileged among which are individual autonomy and our supposed choice as actors in so-called free markets. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 514
