US illegality construction targets Muslims through racialized criminality and suspected future terror

Evidence

In this setting, issues relating to anti-terror and security have far too often been equated with issues relating to immigration where internal and external security policies have become conflated or even interchangeable with each other. Because of this, Muslims have become understood in frames that both acknowledged and perpetuated an ongoing Otherness, one that is inherently foreign, alien and enemy and regularly interchanged with those populist notions of Muslims as ‘terrorists’ and ‘fifth columnists’ amongst others, as has been the case in the UK also. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 580 (#expands, via linked claim)
