Islamophobia is transmitted through state-polity dialogue via law and rhetoric
Evidence
This ongoing dialogue between the state and its polity regarding Muslims by way of law, official rhetoric, and war-on-terror policy is central to this book’s framing of Islamophobia. Beyond defining Islamophobia as merely irrational fear or hatred held by a caricatured bloc or demographic, or as deviant violence committed by individual actors, this book’s definition is complex, multidimensional, and anchored in law and government policy. — Khaled A.
