- Authors
Kamal, Hamna
- Abstract
Islamophobia is a new disease that is looming over the 1.8 billion population of Muslims in the world. The term has most recently garnered the attention of people globally. In this paper, I will try to dissect the underlining causes behind the rise of Islamophobia in recent times. For this, I will be discussing one country from Europe in particular from which of late we have seen the clash between state and religion take place: France. This paper will look at how big a concern should Islamophobia be for the Muslim populace in France and widely around the world.1 I have chosen to examine three events in France whose root causes were Islamophobia, and how this affected the Muslim population in the country. I will start by providing the etymology and then discuss three particular incidents in the country that demanded the attention of the French Muslims. In addition, I shall discuss how the Muslim population around the world reacts every time such Islamophobic incidents happen, and a lack of responsible reaction by Muslim leadership to them can be seen.
