Islamophobic meaning requires active reception, not just dissemination, to function ideologically

Evidence

If Islamophobia is therefore ideological, then it must operate and function as such, where ideological content – meaning about Muslims and Islam – must be disseminated to the public and private spaces through a vast range of different actions, utterances, images and texts, that must also subsequently be recognised and digested as meaningful by its recipients: both dissemination and reception being as equally important and necessary. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 902
