Hard evidence for Islamophobic exclusionary practices remains scarce and largely anecdotal
Evidence
However, as yet, such exclusionary practices remain far from being empirically proven, a situation that desperately requires additional research be undertaken; firstly to identify and subsequently substantiate their existence; and secondly to necessarily shift the evidence for such away from the anecdotal and over-inflationary. It is recommended that this be the next stage for developing research into Islamophobia and its consequences. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 903
