The 1994 Runnymede report first acknowledged Islamophobia in British non-Muslim print.

Evidence

A few years later in 1994, the first British non-Muslim acknowledgement of Islamophobia was made in the runnymede Trust report, A Very Light Sleeper: the Persistence and Dangers of Anti-Semitism. 33 Incorporated under the heading, ‘Anti-Semitism and other forms of racism’, the report somewhat bizarrely preferred to overlook all ‘other forms of racism’ and focus solely on Islamophobia. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 75
