Islamophobic experience varies with race, gender, location, and regime type

Evidence

There are other forms of discrimination this population is encountering, like workplace discrimination, that would add to an understanding of the racialization of South Asian and Arab Muslims. But it is also important not to conflate all Muslim experiences. Future research will uncover the nuances in how ethnicity and race intersect with a religious identity. Although in this book I show that South Asians and Arabs encounter similar experiences because they are Muslim, African American Muslims’ encounters with a racialized religious identity may differ because of their unique history with racism in the United States. The hijab may mark African Americans as foreigners like it does for South Asians and Arabs, altering the way their bodies are read and, subsequently, the way they are treated. — Saher Selod, Forever Suspect_ Racialized…, 478 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
