Mainstream anti-Islamophobia reports systematically omit gendered analysis of the phenomenon

Evidence

Rather strikingly, gendered analysis is almost absent from these reports. “Fear Inc.” points to equal opportunity Islamophobic networks that include women in their ranks, most notably Pamela Geller, and mentions the oppression of women in connection with that of “gays and religious minorities.” 10 The “Right Wing Playbook” mentions the abuse of women, and the dangers for American women in growing Muslim presence in the United States in passing. 11 In the world of academic journals and articles, gendered Islamophobia has been addressed by a number of scholars, notably though not in the context of the United States. — Carl W.
