Description

The New Crusades: Islamophobia and the Global War on Muslims A profound examination of the global phenomenon of Islamophobia, this book reveals how converging systems of subordination, power, and violence related to Islam have spiralled into a worldwide menace. Khaled A. Beydoun explores how the American War on Terror has facilitated and intensified anti-Muslim campaigns across the globe. Through trenchant analysis and direct testimony from Muslims on the ground, Beydoun interrogates how Islamophobia acts as a unifying global thread of state and social bigotry, instigating both liberal and right-wing hate-mongering. The book sheds light on the manifestations of Islamophobia in various regions, from hijab bans in France to state-sponsored hate speech and violence in India, and the network of concentration camps in China. This insightful and disturbing book offers a critical and intimate examination of global Islamophobia, highlighting its role as one of the world's last bastions of acceptable hate.
