Unjustified normative presuppositions can themselves commit the sin of Othering.

Evidence

Either way the normative presuppositions need to be questioned; that is to say, they cannot be taken for granted but stand in need of argument and justification. Without such justification not only may an analysis of Othering be incomplete or distorted, but it may itself be an exercise in Othering, namely in seeing the groups in question as prejudicially Othered as, for example, religious conservatives when that is exactly how the group may wish to think of itself and to be respected for being. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 598

Categorization

• DEFINE: Sharpens the concept of Othering: a critique meant to de-Other a group can itself Other it by misrecognizing how the group self-identifies.
• DEEPTHINKING: A genuinely recursive point — the presupposition undermined by its own logic — worth sitting with in the debate over how to define Islamophobia versus anti-Muslimism.
• XREF: connects to: Islamophobia analysis must center Muslim agency and recognition, not mere Othering. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia: Still a Challenge for Us…, 584; The monologue form makes readers complicit in the Othering the novel critiques; Islamophobic symbolic forms need not be false to function as Othering — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 840
