Islamophobic framing operates dialogically as call-and-response pressing writers to comply or contest

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.

The state’s rubber-stamping of widely held stereotypes of Islam and Muslims, through the enactment of surveillance programs, religious and racial profiling, restrictive immigration policies, and the war-on-terror campaign, is the cornerstone of dialectical Islamophobia. This exchange—by which citizens absorb the suspicion and demonization the state assigns to Muslims by way of (structural Islamophobic) law or state action—is an ongoing dialectic that links state policy to hate and violence unleashed by private citizens. — Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia_ Understanding…, 136 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Islamophobia was not merely an appeal for votes, but a resonant message that would drive policy and inform immigration and national security policing. … In exchange, he delivered on his explicit and “dog whistle” campaign messaging by generating real Islamophobic policies, programs, and action. Trump, like many candidates before him and others who will follow, traded a grand narrative of nativism and hate for votes—which registered to great success at the ballot box. — Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia_ Understanding…, 57 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
