Runnymede argued racial violence against Muslims needs recognition as religious and racial violence

Evidence

Their essential point is that whatever the motivations of racist attackers may be, the consequence of this kind of violence for Muslims is that they are unable to play a full part in mainstream society. Racial violence is all of a piece therefore with anti-Muslim prejudice. The key recommendation is that this must be explicitly recognised in whatever new legislation may be introduced. A legal term such as ‘religious and racial violence’ is required. The term ‘racial violence’ is no longer adequate on its own. — Runnymede Trust, Islamophobia, 28

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: This consequence-based argument — violence’s effect on full participation, not attackers’ motives — connects to the sacrifice article’s treatment of how a community’s standing is socially defined.
• QUESTION: The 1997 report already treats Islamophobia as overlapping with racism; this is the seed of the 2017 racialization turn.
• XREF: connects to: The Runnymede Trust acknowledged Islamophobia as racism in 1994 — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 75; The Runnymede report classed Islamophobia as racism without defining it as racism — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 264; The Runnymede Trust defines Islamophobia as a form of racism against Muslims — A.
