The Runnymede report’s definition is self-reinforcing and theoretically weak

Evidence

Consequently, the whole notion of Islamophobia was questioned, concluding the report and model’s authority somewhat refutable: inappropriate, misguided and largely unworkable in practice; theoretically and conceptually weak; and lacking the necessary depth of thought and comprehension required if greater clarity and less contestation were to ensue. Most worrying was that the report and its model were self-reinforcing and self-perpetuating of that which it deemed to be Islamophobia. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 915
