Islamophobia is often disregarded, minimised, and misunderstood. but is something that has very real effects + consequences on our communities.
it’s not enough for just Muslims to be shouting about this!! we need everyone to listen and share our voices + stories, and be allies.

a great article on the relationship between Islamophobia and liberalism https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/opinions/2020/11/7/islam-is-not-in-crisis-liberalism-is/
a solid reading list from @PlutoPress https://www.plutobooks.com/blog/fight-islamophobia-reading-list/
another great article on some of the problems around having the state define what is and isn't Islamophobia https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-uk-government-should-not-be-allowed-define-islamophobia
this provides some insight into the Prevent strategy, which disproportionately targets Muslims and reinforces dangerous stereotypes https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/the-prevent-database-confirms-our-fears-about-the-governments-counter-extremism-work/
there’s a widely held belief that Islamophobia and racism is confined to the right, but this article explains why this simply isn’t the case https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/10/islamophobia-racism-tories-far-right-british-society
it’s disappointing to see that there’s been so little coverage of this month. and even more disappointing that there’s a deafening silence from both sides of the political spectrum.
