Semantic disputes over ‘Islamophobia’ are a luxury amid rising anti-Muslim violence

Evidence

However, given that most people evincing anti-Islamic prejudice identify the belief system of Islam as causing certain types of behavior in its adherents, Islamophobia seems as good a term as any. Moreover, the urgency of addressing violence and discrimination almost always justified through hostility to beliefs and culture means that such semantic quibbling appears now something of a luxury, particularly while Islamophobic attacks rise in tandem with anti-Semitism as the extreme Right is emboldened. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 37
