Muslim girls are now cast as both dangerous and endangered

Evidence

In early 2015, reports of three 15-year-old British Muslim girls from the east end of London who had gone to join ISIS in Syria dominated the national and international news. These girls formed part of an increasing number of British Muslims travelling to join ISIS. The incidence of Muslim schoolgirls travelling to Syria sits in stark contrast to the way in which Muslim girls were presented in earlier Prevent initiatives. Muslim girls are increasingly being characterized as both ‘dangerous’ and ‘in danger’ (Mirza 2015: 40). — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 571
