The Runnymede model so dominated Islamophobia discourse that it escaped critical scrutiny

Evidence

The Runnymede report and its model of Islamophobia was clearly the seminal source from which the most common and widespread definitions and conceptualisations about Islamophobia had evolved. So much so that it could be argued that it had provided and established the definition and conceptualisation of Islamophobia, particularly when its influence on determining so much of the discourse to have emerged since was considered. Possibly because of its authoritative status and subsequent acceptance, little critical analysis or engagement had however been applied to it. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 914
