Islamophobia can only be substantiated through provable consequential harm

Evidence

If Miles and Brown’s theories are correct, as indeed the observations of this research, then anti-Muslim, anti-Islamic phenomena must be grounded and rooted in empirical evidence that proves a consequential impact or effect in different socio-economic and socio-political strata. This, as established previously, is yet to be adequately achieved where the evidence remains anecdotal and founded upon over-inflationary accusations and hyperbole. Thus the substantiating of ‘a set of exclusionary practices including such exclusion as in discrimination in employment, housing and other socio-economic spheres as well as subjection to violence as a tool of exclusion’ is contemporarily a matter of extreme urgency. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 797

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Miles and Brown’s definition of exclusionary practices as the empirical grounding for substantive claims of Islamophobia.
  • XREF: connects to: Proving Islamophobia requires demonstrating a prior causal ideology, not mere outcomes — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 805; Attributed meaning, not the object, triggers Islamophobic retaliation. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 830
