The American War on Terror exported a policing template states worldwide used against Muslims

Evidence

Beyond genuine national security threats, countries across the world capitalized on the conflation of Islam with terrorism to serve discrete national interests. This American War on Terror furnished nations with license, and more importantly, a policing template and language to profile and persecute their Muslim minority populations. American Islamophobia, buoyed by swift state action including the War in Afghanistan and the USA PATRIOT Act, manifested in a surge of vigilante violence against Muslims and “Muslim-looking” groups and had global impact. — Khaled A.

• ADDENDUM: Complements the framing about how states learn Islamophobic techniques from one another — the ‘template and language’ transmission mechanism.
