Pre-Assessment
The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) is a US-based think tank that focuses on research about American Muslims, and this appears to be an advocacy/practitioner-oriented guide aimed at journalists rather than a scholarly monograph. I don’t have verified detail on the specific authors or publication date, so I can’t confirm individual expertise or currency. Given the report format and its normative aim (“countering and dismantling”), expect mostly actionable concepts, framing and terminology, and recommendations — with some supporting data — rather than primarily neutral facts or pure inspiration. Since the reading stance and purpose are unspecified, this prediction is provisional: read it as a framework/practice guide, and look for cited primary research if you need hard numbers.

- Islamophobia targets Muslims and anyone merely perceived as Muslim. — The operative definitional move is the phrase ‘and consequently those who appear to be Muslim’ — the misidentification clause is what distinguishes this framing from bias-against-adherents definitions.
