Gendered stereotypes of Muslim men and women are formed in relation to each other.

Evidence

Importantly, this process of racialization is gendered. In the case of anti-Muslim racism this means that the stereotypes of Muslim women and Muslim men are different but mutually constitutive of one another. That is, they are formed in relation to each other. Muslim women are seen as ‘oppressed’, passive victims and Muslim men are seen as exceptionally misogynistic. Both stereotypes, however, stem from generalizations about Islam as a uniquely patriarchal religion (Kumar 2012). This widely held stereotype denies Muslim women (and men) agency and the ability to make the moral and social choices other groups are assumed to enjoy. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 554
