Garton Ash reproduced Runnymede’s framework while refusing the term Islamophobia

Evidence

As regards Garton Ash, despite setting out what appear to be remarkably similar views to those set out in the runnymede report, at no time does he refer to what he is explaining and setting out as being Islamophobia. Instead, he argues that his typology comprises ‘six views of the West’s problems with the Muslim world [that] reveal as much about those who hold them’. The fact though that these are being identified as the six ‘problems’ that the West has with Islam and Muslims could and indeed do, seem to overlap with ‘problems’ of Islamophobia. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 89
