Islamophobia operates as a policing of Muslim claims-making.

Evidence

It is not enough that the school gates become a site of intercultural exchange: classrooms have become the front line. … Alongside the creeping in of changes to the curriculum to include lessons on citizenship and integration, schools become spaces not only for transmitting so-called ‘Fundamental British Values’ (DfE 2015) but also for the active policing of transgressors (Alexander et al. 2015: 4). … Both examples illustrate how majoritarian codes inflected with Islamophobia are crafting strategies that, in effect, police Muslim mobilizations and claims-making, most apparently here in the field of education. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 456
