Fear of a Muslim Planet: Global Islamophobia in b

Fear of a Muslim Planet: Global Islamophobia in the Modern Age examines the roots, manifestations, and consequences of anti-Muslim sentiment across the world. The book traces how Islamophobia has evolved from fringe prejudice into a mainstream political and social force, shaping policy, media narratives, and public discourse in Western nations and beyond.

Through historical analysis and contemporary case studies, the author documents how fear of Muslims has been instrumentalized by political actors, amplified by media coverage, and internalized by populations far removed from Muslim-majority regions. The work explores the psychological mechanisms behind othering, the role of stereotyping in perpetuating bias, and the real-world impact on Muslim communities - from employment discrimination to hate crimes to surveillance policies.

Rather than offering simplistic solutions, this book provides readers with frameworks for understanding systemic prejudice and its reinforcement through institutions, rhetoric, and cultural production. It argues that confronting global Islamophobia requires recognizing it not as inevitable cultural clash but as a constructed phenomenon with identifiable origins and maintainers.
