Islamophobia
Islamophobia or Muslimophobia (see section "Terms" for related terms) is the prejudice, hatred, or bigotry directed against Islam or Muslims.
The causes and characteristics of Islamophobia are still debated. Some scholars have defined it as a form of cultural racism. Some commentators have posited an increase in Islamophobia resulting from the September 11 attacks, while others have associated it with the increased presence of Muslims in the United States and in the European Union.
