Islamophobia study must adopt an explicitly justified normative framework such as multiculturalism

Evidence

Islamophobia should therefore be studied within a normative framework, and not just one that exposes the normative presuppositions of others while evading the challenge of justifying one’s own normative presuppositions. The framework I use is that of multiculturalism, or a struggle for recognition and institutional accommodation. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 597
