▼ One of the primary aims of education is assisting
students in shaping their world- views through the presentation of
multiple perspectives on many topics. Teachers have the
responsibility to foster thought-provoking questions, insights and
dialogue amongst their students. Within the context of post 9/11
education, it is rather challenging for many teachers to address
controversial topics that they believe may be distastefully
welcomed and invoke much discomfort amongst some students, parents
and administrators. This study explores how two Religious Studies
professors conceptualized controversy and the discussion of
controversial topics in their religion courses. Further, notions
gathered from participants were utilized to facilitate how
secondary Social Studies teachers approach controversial topics,
especially about religion and Islam specifically, with their
students. Using a qualitative post modernist approach, participants
were asked to share their perceptions of controversy and reflect on
factors that perhaps influenced what they chose to address with
their students.

▼ The events of September 11, 2001 increased occurrences of prejudice, discrimination and racial profiling toward Muslims and individuals identified as Muslims. This study focuses on Islamophobia in the United States. It also explores the factors that affect the American perception of Islam and seeks to discover the best way to prevent Islomophobia and to reduce discrimination against Muslims in America. The study is based on a survey conducted in May 2014 among one hundred students from Central Connecticut State University. My results indicated that the Media is the main factor responsible for creating Islamophobia in the United States. Further, the study found that educating non-Muslims in America about the Islamic religion and culture is the best way to reduce the severity of Islamophobia and prejudice against Muslims in the United States.

De-MIST-ifying the adolescent development of Muslim

▼ This dissertation research examined schooling and
youth programming experiences of participants in the Muslim
Interscholastic Tournament (MIST), a youth program specific to
Muslims. Data from interviews, MIST documents, and participant
observations were analyzed using grounded theory to explore the
challenges and opportunities that participants faced in school and
society, particularly in the post-9/11 climate, and their responses
to those challenges. By using MIST as the context for the study, it
further explored how youth programs for Muslims, such as MIST, can
strive to support the positive youth development of participants
through a careful consideration of their identities as Muslim
Americans and the contexts in which they are coming of age.
Interviews with participants revealed that many Muslim American
youth were affected by the racialization of their religion, where
they were often made to feel different or marginalized. Many felt
obligated to act as “ambassadors” of Islam, even though they
recognized the difficulties involved in this responsibility. They
felt pressure in school and society to correct stereotypes about
Muslims and re-present their religion in a positive light. In
contrast, participants felt that MIST provided them with a space in
which they could be themselves, meet other Muslims from diverse
backgrounds, and explore their identities as Muslims. However, some
participants also felt MIST was from a Sunni-perspective and
imposed unrealistic restrictions on inter-gender interactions and
clothing requirements, causing them to feel marginalized at the
tournament.
This study has the potential to expand theories on
the racialization of religion and positive youth development.
Specifically, it illustrates some of the ways in which the effects
of racialization differ based on various personal and contextual
factors, such as gender, and it suggests that the latent variables
of positive youth development, or the “Five C’s,” be crafted with
an understanding of and sensitivity to the multiple contexts in
which diverse youth participate and operate. In addition, it
provides recommendations for educators and other practitioners to
create more spaces, both in school and during out-of-school time
contexts, which can foster positive youth development.

▼ Since 9/11, aggressive governmental policies have been justified as being reflective of the public’s fear of Islam and Muslims. This fear and discrimination can be summarized as being at the core of the study of Islamophobia and its effects on the world. The sentiment of the public towards Muslim Americans, coupled with a rhetoric of marketable fears, have both generated a cyclical snowball effect of accepted xenophobia and intense politicization of Islam on both sides. The primary purpose of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of Islamophobia through a comparative look at large-scale surveys and their similarities and differences from 2002 through 2018. The guiding question for this thesis is, “How can we define Islamophobia through survey data?” The imperative of this study and many seeking to define Islamophobia through various means is to determine truths and objectivity in a highly politicized realm of study. This thesis finds that such surveys are influenced greatly by political narratives and that thorough qualitative analysis is required for an accurate assessment of objectivity. The concept and definition of Islamophobia will be offered as ground work upon which the narratives that have been employed will be discussed. First, an understanding of the historical context of the Muslim American will be offered as it relates to Islamophobia. An operationalized definition of Islamophobia provides common themes found within the survey research. A framework is developed for individual profiles of survey groups, with which a comparative analysis of several key surveys can be made. This will provide for an understanding of the narratives that present themselves in research and will hopefully offer a way for researchers to get a better understanding of the Muslim American experience as seen through Islamophobia.

A Qualitative Study of Islamophobia Post 9/11 in the United

▼ Following the events that transpired after
9/11, evidence suggested that the mental health of Muslims across
the globe was affected significantly, resulting in decreased
wellness for members of this group. Hate crimes toward Muslims and
those perceived as Muslim increased. Though the implications of
this major event were evident for adults, little research has
examined the ramifications on youth growing up during this time.
In the present study, a grounded theory
approach was utilized to examine the identity development of
Muslims growing up in the age of the “war on terrorism.” Nine
students (3 females, 6 males) participated in the current study,
and represented undergraduate (4) and graduate students (5).
Participants completed two phases of data collection. The first was
an open-ended interview questionnaire completed online. The second
phase consisted of an in-depth interview. The
results of the present study yielded three models. The first
described the experience of being Muslim on a Catholic campus. At
the core of students’ experiences was an appreciation of the
campus’ spirituality. It was defined by four interconnected
dimensions: connection with a spiritual community; a sense of
uniqueness and pride; appraisal of student attitudes; and
overcoming challenges and barriers. The second
model answered the primary question of the investigation which
sought to understand the identity development of Muslim youth who
grew up in the United States during 9/11. Results suggested a
two-tiered interconnected multidimensional model, with a core made
up of the collectivistic self. The inner ring of the model depicts
elements most central to the participants’ identity and included:
family; ethnic heritage; and religion (Islam). The outer ring
illustrates domain that were also important but less salient and
included: region; field of study; ethnic minorities; social
justice; hobbies; and SES. The third model was
a moderation model and depicted the effects of 9/11 on
participants’ lives. It was evident that participants were exposed
to discrimination and resulting negative repercussions. Despite
this, their positive coping strategies appeared to significantly
mitigate its effects. Limitations and challenges of the present
study are discussed. Future directions and practical applications
are also provided.

▼ This dissertation analyzes the ways in which racial constructs processes of racialization operate in international politics and become consequential in constituting the contemporary global order. Specifically it asks: in the wake of the diffusion of domestic and international norms against racism, how are we to understand race and effects of racialization at the level of the international? In order to answer this question, I develop a theoretical framework of racialization that explains how human groups, including cultural and religious groups, are (re)defined as discrete entities with inherent dispositions and ordered hierarchically as to shape the actions and identities available for various actors. Although explicit racial hierarchies in inter-state politics became less prominent with decolonization and through international norms against racism, I argue that racialization continues to constitute domestic and global hierarchies through structural and productive power relations. As can be seen in racialization of Muslims and the debates about the rise of China, expressions of cultural difference and their association with various forms and objects of threat are a consequential medium through which racialization occurs in the contemporary global order.

▼ Veiled women in the West are menacing. Their visible invisibility is a cause of obsession. What is this fixation on the veil and the veiled woman? In this thesis I frame this question in another way: what is beneath the veil more than a woman? The thesis investigates the preoccupation with the veiled body through the discursive imaging and imagining of Muslim women. It examines the relationship between the body and knowledge through the politics of freedom as grounded in the body, in the index of flesh. It contends that the impulse to unveil is more than a desire to free the Muslim woman. Behind the desire to release (Muslim) women’s bodies from the veil is the intolerable possibility of limits. This unsettling encounter with difference – a difference that destabilises Western norms of the body, as free only when it reveals itself, that institutes a politics of othering. The preoccupation with the veiled woman is a defense that preserves neither the object of orientalism nor the difference embodied in women’s bodies, but inversely, insists on the idea of a universal free subject. What lies at the heart of the politics of othering, the fantasy of saving the Muslim woman, is recast here, as the West’s desire to save itself.

▼ With
Islamophobia rates rising in American society, this researcher reflected on the possibility of
Islamophobia showing up in the social work field. This researcher used a Narrative lens that explored Edward Said???s critical works about Muslim identities in America, critiqued the role of Neoliberalism in social work, and deconstructed cultural competence. The present qualitative study then gathered first-person narratives from Muslim-American social workers regarding their responsiveness to Muslim clients, possible barriers Muslims experience when seeking services, and their potential knowledge of
Islamophobia occurring in social work. After interviewing five Muslim-American social workers, this researcher generated two hypotheses:
Islamophobia does occur in social work, and stigma within Muslim communities, especially surrounding trauma and mental health, poses a barrier to Muslims accessing services.

▼ Although there is a vast literature on the securitization and Islamophobia phenomena in Western societies, there is relatively less research about the perceptions and mobilization of Muslim immigrants in the West, especially Turks, with respect to these phenomena. Therefore, the research set out to explore whether there has been any change in the forms of mobilization of Turkish immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands after 9/11 as a response to the securitization of integration. The present comparative study identified not only the changes after 9/11, but also the main similarities and differences between the two cases. Characteristics of Turkish immigrants and the context of reception, as well as the subjective aspects (such as perceptions, feelings, emotions, and so on) related to the issue were taken into account in the study. From the methodological perspective, the study employed a mixed methods research approach by including interviews, participant observation, and a quantitative analysis of population and political representation data. In total, in Germany and the Netherlands, 27 face to face semi-structured interviews were conducted with either the representatives of Turkish organizations or the political party members that originated from Turkey. The study concluded that Turkish immigrants in both countries have been negatively affected by the securitization process. They felt that they faced more problems (such as discrimination, hate crimes, more restrictive policies towards them, and so on) in their contexts after 9/11. Along with these perceptions, the changes in their characteristics and the context of reception played an important role in their mobilization in this process. The study revealed that they became more mobilized and organized after 9/11. After evaluating the motives and objectives of mobilization and acculturation strategies of Turkish immigrants, the study identified three main forms of mobilization (political, social, and cultural) as a response to the securitization of integration. Not only differences between the characteristics of Turkish immigrants in Germany and the Netherlands but also dissimilarities in their receiving contexts resulted in differences in their political mobilization approaches. However, their social and cultural mobilization approaches in both countries have mainly been similar.

▼ Existing literature on radicalization leading to violent extremism covers a wide range of issues and areas of concern, including theories and models of radicalization and the radicalization process, as well as triggers, catalysts, and risk factors for the emergence of radicalization. Scholars have identified various risk factors that influence the likelihood of violent radicalization. However, a review of literature on radicalization reveals that there is a lack of thorough analysis of how major risk factors relate to each other. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between major risk factors for radicalization by combining them in a single model. Three risk factors were selected for this study: perceived Islamophobia, poor integration, and identity crisis. These risk factors are critical for understanding the early stages of the radicalization process of Muslim individuals who live in Western societies. This study utilized a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, employing both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Data was collected using a survey of 180 Turkish-Americans and 118 Turkish-Canadians and interviews with 10 opinion leaders. The researcher proposed four hypotheses to investigate the relationships between the three aforementioned risk factors and used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test these hypotheses. The results showed that both perceived Islamophobia and poor integration were predictors of identity crisis in both samples. No significant relationship was observed between perceived Islamophobia and poor integration. The results also revealed some differences between the two samples. Perceived Islamophobia was significantly higher for the sample of Turkish-Americans. Additionally, higher perceived Islamophobia among Turkish-Americans predicted weaker identification with the host country. On the other hand, stronger religious identification among Turkish-Canadians predicted lower levels of integration. It is necessary to emphasize that this study did not explore whether the participants did or did not adopt radical ideologies. Rather, the researcher focused on the relationships among the risk factors that might make Muslim minorities more vulnerable to radicalization. The study concluded that it is important to take measures to counter Islamophobia and to facilitate the integration of Muslim minorities in order to lessen the likelihood that they will experience an identity crisis.

▼ Islamophobia has been a major topic of academic and scholarly discussion, as well as a force in the ordinary lives of many Americans, especially since 9/11. This thesis attempts to build on the topic of contemporary Islamophobia in light of America’s historical race- and religion-related prejudicial treatment of “otherized” minority groups. Rather than dismiss Islamophobia as a recent phenomenon, with hatred of Muslims only arising as a result of the 9/11 attacks, this thesis argues that America has a much deeper societal tendency to create an enemy, not only as a response to perceived threats, but in order to affirm the American identity. Throughout history, there seems to be a symbiotic relationship between America’s creation of enemies and minority group racial prejudice. It happens to be the case that Muslims are the latest victims of such racial hatred as Islam is viewed as an intrinsically violent religion in the West. To identify the root cause of this social injustice, this thesis takes a close study of Islamophobia, and its various structures and dimensions. The thesis discusses enemy- and race-construction theories, along with people’s social and psychological behavior during times of national crisis. It also looks at other, similar episodes of race-related historical prejudices, such as Orientalism, the “Yellow Peril”, and “Japanophobia” during World War II. To consider these, the thesis studies different theories, research findings, and the writings of social and religious scholars. This analysis reveals that there is indeed a specific, American tendency to misconceive and manufacture a fear of “the other” which is perceived to be different from the rest of society. As this fear affirms the American identity, it is conveniently used by both the mainstream media and politicians alike, and it has had special success more recently, through the proliferation of virtually unregulated viral, and open-source social media. The result has a chilling, devastating, and disruptive effect in Americans’ everyday lives.

▼ A diaspora’s flag is the symbolic representation of that community. The Iranian flag, however, is a contested symbol among the Iranian diasporic community. As this research shows, the Iranian diaspora exhibits its cultural, political, and religious identities through three different Iranian flags. Through qualitative research, entailing months of participant observation and a series of semi-structured interviews, I investigate the underlying reasons for this flag disagreement. Through this research, I argue that an Iranian diaspora’s pre-migration communal history and post-migration environmental factors influence its establishment and maintenance in the host nation.
In this study, I revisit the diaspora literature to argue for the complexity of the concept of diaspora. I demonstrate how a diaspora assists the community in restructuring its lost cultural identity and establishing a social space to belong, in the time of the spatial and cultural dislocation. The Iranian diaspora’s flag selection is a symbolic representation of communal establishment and identity formation for the community. The Iranian flag debate indicates a communal divide; it is also an instrument to set social boundaries to develop a community under the symbolic representation of the ancestral homeland.
Furthermore, this research explores how the Iranian diaspora uses the Iranian flag as a proxy to indicate socio-communal expectations and intersectional social hierarchies that already exist among the Iranian community. When discussing the flag’s symbolic significance, the respondents relate the flag with three recurring themes of religion, gender, and sexuality. The association of the Iranian flag with these three social factors indicates the communal dynamics of the Iranian diaspora. These communal dynamics establish certain norms and values, but they also redefine each flag based on its socio-political history. The attached meaning to each flag consequently causes tension and disagreement among the Iranian community, which is not solely political.
Dissertation
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The Iranian diaspora is a young and growing community that came into existence after the Islamic revolution of 1979. In this diaspora, there are three different flags on display, and each flag represents a socio-political ideology. The symbolic application of the flag facilitates this research in exploring the social interaction among the Iranian diaspora residing in the Greater Toronto Area and York Region. Through the examination of the flag debates, I investigate the significance of community building in the new host nation. I critically analyze the communal divide existing among the Iranian community and the flag debate that is a symbolic representation of Iranian group dynamics. The discussion of the flag for many starts a conversation about community development and socio-communal hierarchy. While the different versions of the Iranian flags bring the diasporic communities together, they also indicate social segregation caused by religious,…

▼ PVV leader Geert Wilders is seen as one of the most remarkable and provocative Dutch politicians of the past 20 years. This is partly a consequence of the Islamophobic discourse that he uses in order to argue that Islam, Muslims, and immigration pose a threat to the liberal Dutch and Western society. People have often argued that this Islamophobic discourse is discriminative and racist and is for that reason in conflict with the ideology of liberalism. However, Wilders and his supporters argue that the contrary is true and that he is actually protecting the Western liberal society from the dangerous illiberal Islam. Moreover, it has often been argued that liberalism is in fact a paradoxical ideology that historically has distinguished people on the basis of race, class, and gender. For that reason, Wilders seems to position himself well within the ideology of liberalism. By the means of a discourse analysis, this study attempts to demonstrate that Wilders’ Islamophobic discourse is in fact very much in line with the liberal ideology despite its racist and discriminative content.

▼ Popular support for the British National Party (BNP) in England reached unprecedented high levels during the early twentieth century. The BNP won a number of local council and European Parliament seats on the back of this popularity. This study seeks to provide a case study of one such poll success: Nuneaton 2008. Evidence from Nuneaton, a BNP success not previously studied, will be used to test the literature already generated addressing other locations of ‘breakthrough’, including Burnley and Stoke (Burnett 2011; Rhodes 2009). The thesis seeks to explain why the BNP was able to win elections where there had previously been no appetite for far right politics. The research focuses on the role of demand and supply-side factors contributing to the electoral success of the BNP in 2008, showing that any analysis of the far right has to be multivariate in nature. The demand-side variables identified and analysed are: socioeconomics, immigration and Islamophobia. The supply-side factors assessed are political opportunity structures, the BNP campaign strategy and the role of the media. A mixed-method approach was undertaken which included interviews with voters and politicians, focus groups, a questionnaire capturing the views 308 constituents, and archival research of socioeconomic data and newspaper reports. The findings of this research indicate that the BNP’s electoral breakthrough in Nuneaton was multivariable in nature, and it is reasonable to argue that particular variables were more significant than others. Immigration stands out as the most prominent variable. In addition, the role of the media, the press in particular, was of great significance in explaining breakthrough in Nuneaton through the sanitising and legitimising of negative stereotypes of immigrants, asylum seekers and Muslims. This case study also suggests that Islamophobia should be regarded as a key factor. Indeed, Islamophobia was an important part of the jigsaw and conflates with a number of variables tested in this thesis. In sum, this research broadly corroborates the existing literature. It does however suggest that socioeconomics has been overplayed to a degree in previous studies, while Islamophobia has been underplayed.

▼ Sweden is today a country with ethnic, cultural and religious diversity. My aim in this study is to study what view of Islam and Muslims that students at a Catholic school in Stockholm have. The reason why Catholic schools are interesting to study is that previous research has showed that Muslim students around Europe often attend catholic schools as they are regarded as more tolerant towards religion. This study is based on a questionnaire and personal interviews with upper secondary students at the Catholic school in Stockholm. The result is compared with previous research on students of the same age group (12-15 years). The results of the survey show that the majority of students have a positive attitude towards Islam and Muslims, but that there is a small group at the Catholic School who have negative attitude towards Islam and Muslims. The negative attitude increases when it comes to the Muslim’s rights, for example the right to build mosques in Sweden. The results also show that students with parents with higher education are more tolerant than students with parents with no academic education. I have used Mattias Gardell’s definition of Islamophobia to analyze the result from the survey and interview among the students at the Catholic school. When using this definition, we can see that the students have some islamophobic thoughts about Muslims and Islam. The results indicate that the school needs to actively work with this question in a more constructive way. One of my suggestions are that they need to talk more about Islam and Muslims during the lessons so the students gain knowledge about the religion but also create situations where non-Muslims and Muslims meet. In this way, students can integrate with each other. This study only shows the attitudes among the students at this Catholic School.

▼ This project focuses on
Islamophobia as a problem of society that affects Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Prejudice and discrimination caused an increase of hate crimes and xenophobia against Muslims and people that ???look??? Muslim. These attitudes had influences on school sites, creating a significant rise in bullying against Muslim students, along with stereotypes from teachers about the Muslim community. This project resulted in the creation of a professional development curriculum that explored how multicultural frameworks, along with culturally relevant and responsive pedagogies, engage with issues surrounding
Islamophobia and the teachers??? understanding of Islam. This professional development curriculum offers a comprehensive training for educators on topics including understanding
Islamophobia, biases in the classroom, the creation of inclusive environments, and building support for their Muslim students.

▼ This dissertation explores the role of the author in literary criticism through the polarizing protagonist of contemporary French literature, Michel Houellebecq, whose novels have been both consecrated by France’s most prestigious literary prizes and mired in controversies.
The polemics defining Houellebecq’s literary career fundamentally concern the blurring of lines between the author’s provocative public persona and his work. Amateur and professional readers alike often assimilate the public author, the implied author and his characters, disregarding the inherent heteroglossia of the novel and reducing Houellebecq’s works to thesis novels necessarily expressing the private opinions and prejudices of the author.
This thesis explores an alternative approach to Houellebecq and his novels. Rather than employing the author’s public figure to read his novels, I proceed in precisely the opposite direction, employing the implied author derived from his novels to read his public author figure.
My first chapter, Reading Houellebecq and his fictions, explores the evolutions in the author’s public presentation that render personalist readings of his work particularly problematic. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 Houellebecq’s Islamophobic, Misogynistic and Racist Character(s) reveal attenuating factors in the scenes of enunciation and the characterization of the speakers that systematically undermine the Islamophobic, misogynistic and racist discourse in these novels, preserving the author’s possible difference of opinion. Despite myriad doubts sewn throughout these narratives, however, the portrayal of minority characters in Michel Houellebecq’s novels not only fails to provide a compelling counterargument, it overwhelmingly coincides with the ideas of his Islamophobic, misogynistic and racist speakers.
Our narratological analysis of Michel Houellebecq’s novels, therefore, shows that the implied author broadly corresponds to the public author’s unsavory reputation as an Islamophobe, “réactionnaire, cynique, raciste et misogyne honteux” (Houellebecq Ennemis 7). From this perspective, the author may strategically package himself as a provocateur and satirist as a means of expressing his Islamophobia, misogyny and racism with impunity.
The results of this dissertation, however, by no means justify a personalist approach to literary criticism. Houllebecq’s case suggests that the presence of a provocative public author merits an even more intense focus on his writing.

▼ Islamophobic violence against Muslim women is an understudied issue in Canada, even as it is increasing. Using an anti-colonial Muslim feminist theoretical framework and praxis, I conducted 21 interviews of Muslim women survivors of Islamophobic violence in the GTA, and analyzed these interviews to characterize the discourses that sanction Islamophobic violence; the different forms of Islamophobic violence and its impacts, including its relation to trauma; challenges for bystander intervention; and Muslim women’s strength and agency. Notably, several participants employed faith-based methods of understanding and responding to Islamophobic violence. Poetry by six Muslim women survivors of Islamophobic violence supplemented these findings by enriching them with emotional depth; this poetry will be included in a community toolkit on Islamophobic violence that will emerge from this study. Future research should continue to centre diverse Muslim women’s voices and focus on anti-colonial methods of challenging Islamophobia that focus on building relationships with Indigenous peoples.

▼ Detta är en kunskapsöversikt vars syfte är att sammanställa vilken forskning det finns om hur lärare i grundskolan kan motverka islamofobi och antisemitism i klassrummet. Vår frågeställning är följande: Vad säger forskningen om vilka didaktiska och metodiska verktyg det finns för att motverka islamofobi för en religionslärare i skolan? Vad säger forskningen om vilka didaktiska och metodiska verktyg det finns för att motverka antisemitism för en religionslärare i skolan? Vår metod var att använda oss av databaser som Libsearch och ERIC via EBSCO för att hitta relevanta texter som vi kunnat använda i arbetet via våra nyckelord. I våra källor fann vi svaren till våra frågeställningar. Vi ville med denna kunskapsöversikt få metoder och verktyg att använda i våra klassrum och med de källor vi hittade kunde vi besvara och ge exempel på hur man kan motverka just islamofobi och antisemitism. Elever översköljs av information som gör att de tar ställning och har åsikter som inte alltid stämmer överens med hur verkligheten ser ut. Fördomar sprids och hat växer. Just därför är detta ämne extra viktigt till en viss gräns. I detta SAG har vi presenterat den forskning vi hittat som visar på hur vi som framtida lärare kan jobba för att motverka islamofobi och antisemitism i ett klassrum. För att besvara vår till synes enkla frågeställning har vi diskuterat de olika metoderna som forskningen vi har presenterat visar.

▼ This dissertation contributes to the study of transnational migration and human mobility by ethnographically documenting the lives of 60, male, Tunisian, irregular migrants—part of a mass migration of 30,000 people—who fled the 2011 Tunisian uprising by crossing the Mediterranean Sea and landing in Italy where they created, according to Italian authorities, an “emergency situation.” Although most of these migrants intended to use Italy as a gateway to other countries, such as France and Germany where they already had established social networks, many found themselves stuck in Italy where they were considered “illegals” under Italian law. A number of them faced human rights abuses such as deportation back to Tunisia, suffered violence and oppression at the hands of the Italian police and Italian society at large, and were stigmatized as “potential criminals” and “hidden terrorists” by both state and non-state actors, i.e., employers, media and the larger public. Using narratives and oral histories from the study population, this research explores 1) the processes of criminalizing and dehumanizing the migrant “Other” such that violence perpetrated against him is permitted and rationalized; 2) the irregular migrants’ experience, discussion, negotiation of, and resistance to, their socially constructed “illegality” and “criminality”; and 3) the trends in anti-migrant violence and oppression and their consequences for the migrants’ identities, survival strategies, and daily struggles. Transnational migration scholarship and its idea of the “permeability” of national “borders” as shifting political spaces provided a theoretical foundation for this multi-sited research. The project transcends geographical boundaries to reach a macro-level understanding of the study population and to demonstrate the processes through which transnational movements are produced, forged, and maintained. The relevance of this research cannot be overstated as political turmoil in the Middle East continues, and irregular migrants and refugees pour into Europe. Thus, although the number of Tunisian migrants to Italy has significantly dropped since the 2011 uprising, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been landing on Italian southern shores since 2015 when Syria entered into a civil war.

▼ Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, Muslims in the United States and United Kingdom have been the targets of
Islamophobia: unwavering scrutiny, discrimination, and being made to feel like “others.” I use mixed methods of literature review, qualitative interviews, and quantitative analysis to argue that this
Islamophobia affects the health of Muslims. I draw primarily from the concepts of orientalism and biological citizenship to link history with contemporary
Islamophobia. My main qualitative findings include that there are highly significant studies linking
Islamophobia and perceived discrimination with objective health outcomes and that there are three main levels that contribute to the overall perceived discrimination of Muslims. These three levels are interpersonal, community, and societal-level discrimination. Through quantitative analysis, I show that with confounding variables aside, Muslims experience more discrimination than similar non-Muslims, which leads to adverse mental and self-reported health outcomes, decreased happiness, and decreased feeling at home in America. By framing
Islamophobia as a public health issue, I argue that its condemnation is essential to improving population health.

▼ This thesis investigates the continued hostilities and increasing backlash against the American Muslim community in the United States from a critical perspective that centralizes the racialization of Muslims and Muslim looking-people. The increasing anti-Muslim backlash against American Muslims warrants the need for a critical examination and analysis of the roots of this backlash and why, almost 11 years after September 11th, 2001, conditions for Muslims and Muslim looking-people are worsening. The term
Islamophobia has been conceptualized and defined differently by various scholars, contributing to an analytical dilemma of how Muslims rationalize and resist anti-Muslim backlash. Therefore, the concept of racialization provides a fuller perspective and understanding as to why Muslim and non-Muslim Arabs, South Asians, and African Americans have been subjected to rising suspicion, surveillance, imprisonment, and violence in a post 9/11/2001 era.
This thesis posits the notion of the white Christian Normative, an inherent Christian bias embedded deep within the racialized social system of the United States. This Christian Normative has its roots in the colonial confrontation between European colonizers and Indigenous populations in what is now considered the United States and has maintained its significance in impacting the life chances of non-white non-Christian minorities ever since. This thesis argues that it is the Christian normative that drives and sustains the anti-Muslim backlash in the United States. The anti-Muslim backlash that is growing stronger in the United States is also theoretically conceptualized within this thesis. This thesis utilizes qualitative data collected from 23 in-depth interviews with Arab and South Asian American Muslim college students between the ages of 18 to 35 years from the Midwest as its empirical basis.

▼ The present thesis aims at a better understanding of
Islamophobia in Western Europe. For this purpose, it investigates how the issue is perceived from the Arabic and from the Western European perspective, what both of these views have in common and where the differences between them.
In the opening section, the results of a literature research are presented, which focuses on academic Arabic sources, articles on the Aljazeera website, and academic publications by West European authors.
In this context, various aspects of the phenomenon such as the definition of the term, roots and causes, the role of media and of the political right, and its relation to the anti-Semitism are considered. As example of manifestation of
Islamophobia the French head scarf ban is discussed.
Comparing the Arabic and the Western European view on
Islamophobia, one cannot detect specific differences concerning the definition of the term, albeit the latter appears contested and vague. In contrast, the identified reasons for
Islamophobia and the role attributed to media and the political right are controversial and depend very much on the particular perspective involved.
While the majority of the Western sources identifies the reason of
Islamophobia as the perceived incompatibility of Islam with Western and European values, Arab authors mostly hold Western misunderstanding and lack of knowledge responsible for the phenomenon. They also attribute an essential role to media and the political right in its dissemination.
While at least the majority of the Arab sources attribute a positive character to the headscarf, in Western Europe it is frequently understood as symbol of a radical Islam and gender discrimination, therefore justifying its ban.
The comparison with anti-Semitism appears to be restricted to the Western European perspective, which is possibly due to the role this phenomenon has played in Europe's history.

▼ Western sport environments may create challenges for young Muslim women who choose to participate while adhering to their Islamic values and principles. In this way, participation in sport may serve to exclude young Muslim women when cultural and religious needs are not met. The purpose of this study was to explore how young Muslim women who wear the hijab experience inclusion or alienation due to their involvement in sport in Ontario. Data collection with seven Hijabi athletes consisted of semi-structured interviews and audio-diaries recorded over a one-month period to examine identity negotiation, social interactions with non-Muslim teammates and coaches, and the influence of broader discourses on the sport experiences of young Muslim women. Results pertained to solidarity as well as Islamophobic interactions with teammates, surveillance due to hypervisibility of the hijab, and behaviour modification. This research highlights the heterogeneity of Muslim women in Ontario and how they navigate sport experiences.

▼ This dissertation explores the potential of the queer Muslim asylum seeker to confront the Dutch national imaginary. An archetype of homonationalism, the Netherlands faces rising tides of Islamophobia, waters which queer Muslims must learn to navigate. An asylum seeker’s success in the system depends on their “credibility”, hinging on the consistency of their self-representation which is constantly being reconstructed. These constant reconstructions, what Ewing (1990) refers to as “shifting selves”, are not conscious or noticed by the individual; yet, in the context of asylum claim-making, reconstitutions of the self may rise to the surface, asylum seekers then engaging in conscious strategizing. I analyze these contexts ethnographically through informal interviews and participant observation, at the height of the so-called “Refugee Crisis” of the mid-2010s in Europe.
I find that as the figure of the queer Muslim asylum seeker confronts the Dutch national imaginary, it both confirms it—representing national commitments to human rights, to tolerance, and to protection of sexual minorities—and challenges it—embodying impossible identities, and evincing a failure of the nation to live up to its ideals: What is “tolerance” when it is weaponized against minority groups? What kind of queerness is being protected if deviation from a cultural norm is disqualifying? Whose human rights are being protected by a system that demands the subject of those rights conform to formulations inconsistent with lived experience?

▼ This dissertation explored victim blaming in the context of Islamophobic hate crime, including the role that model victim expectations might play. Study 1 and Study 2 explored the nature, content, and frequency of prototypes surrounding hate crimes, finding evidence of clear prototypic expectations for both perpetrators and victims. Study 3 found that anti-Muslim hate crimes with highly prototypical perpetrators (White, uttering Islamophobic slurs) were rated most typical of a hate crime, with increased certainty of guilt, longer recommended sentences, higher perpetrator blaming, and lowest victim blaming. In the low perpetrator prototypicality conditions (South Asian perpetrator, no slurs), participants were less certain that the offence was a hate crime, recommended lighter sentences, reduced perpetrator blame, and higher victim blame. Study 4a confirmed experimentally that observers recognize Muslim victims as equivalent to other, more traditionally studied targets of hate (i.e., Black, gay). Having established that Muslims do not differ, Study 4b explored prototypes of the typical victim of hate crime. Where the victim was depicted as a passive South Asian Muslim man, participants were most certain the offence was a hate crime, recommended harsher sentencing, imposed the highest perpetrator blame, and the lowest victim blame. When the South Asian Muslim victim responded verbally or physically to the perpetrator's harassment, however, victim blaming increased, perpetrator blame decreased, and guilt and sentences were reduced. This was not the case for the White, non-Muslim victim, whose behaviour was not so scrutinized. Overall, the research reported in this dissertation demonstrates the implications of prototypic expectations of "true" hate crime characteristics, and the behavioural expectations placed on Muslim victims to behave passively in the face of harassment.

▼ The relationship between stress, trauma, microaggressions, overt violence and life satisfaction has long been established in the literature. This online study sought to identify significant predictors of life satisfaction in a Muslim American sample (N=247) that was 74.5% (N=184) female, 60.7% (N=150) Arab American/Middle Eastern, 21.9% (N=54) Asian American, and 10.5% (N=25) White. The sample had a mean age of 34.21 years with 70% married (N=173). Some 51.4% were born in the U.S. (51.4%, N=127); and, among those not U.S. born, 15.8% reported their country of origin was Egypt (N=39), followed by Palestinian Territories (6.5%, N=16) and Pakistan (5.7%, N=14). And 19.7% (N=49) have lived in the U.S. for 26-30 years. Also, 35.6% (N=88) completed a bachelor’s degree, 64.8% were employed (N=160) and, 31.6% reported an annual household income in the 50,000-99,000 bracket. This sample’s mean experience of microaggressions was 7.12 (SD=6.649, min=0, max=24) indicating low experience. While the mean exposure to overt acts of violence was 0.71 (SD= 1.457, min=0, max=9), indicating very low exposure. Regarding life satisfaction, 53.5% of the sample indicated a life satisfaction score of 8 or more (N=132). The mean perception to Islamophobia was 4.076, indicating a high ability to perceive Islamophobia.
Using backwards stepwise regression, higher life satisfaction was significantly predicted by: being less likely to be depressed in the past year (B=-0.59, p=0.012); older age (B=0.038, p=0.001); better overall health status (B=0.361, p=0.001); better rating of quality of provider (B=0.351, p=0.001); lower perceived stress (B=-0.07, p=0.0); lower stage for coping and responding to Islamophobia (B=-0.17, p=0.025); higher use of “stop unpleasant thoughts” coping style (B=0.129, p=0.007) with R2= 0.584 (adjusted R2= 0.566; 56.6% of variance explained).
Quantitative findings were augmented by emergent themes in the qualitative data. Case in point, living in a post-9/11 America and discrimination with subthemes including Islamophobia, acceptability of public discrimination, and destruction of personal property were found to be negatively associated with life satisfaction. Five overarching themes were found to be related to higher life satisfaction and ability to cope: feeling a sense of community, wearing hijab (headscarf for women), religiosity and Islamic identity, work, and financial stability.

▼ Why do ordinary people become supportive of violent, extremist ideologies? Over the past several years, tens of thousands of individuals across the world have become attracted to propaganda disseminated by the Islamic State (ISIS), and many have left their home countries to join the organization. This dissertation closely examines possible explanations for pro-ISIS radicalization in Europe and the United States. I argue that anti-Muslim hostility is an important driver of pro-ISIS radicalization, leading individuals who feel isolated to become attracted to the organization's propaganda. I also contend that groups like ISIS are aware of this pattern, and thus seek to purposefully provoke hostility against potential supporters by carrying out terrorist attacks. I maintain that efforts to stop radicalization should focus on ways to reduce hostility and increase inclusion of minorities in the West. The various dissertation papers empirically examine different aspects of these arguments.
In the first paper, I examine whether anti-Muslim hostility might be driving pro-ISIS radicalization in Europe, by analyzing the online activity of thousands of ISIS sympathizers in France, Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. Matching online radicalization indicators with offline data on vote share for far-right, anti-Muslim parties, I show that the intensity of anti-Muslim hostility at the local (neighborhood/municipality) level strongly correlates with support for ISIS on Twitter. In addition, I show that events that stir anti-Muslim sentiment, such as terrorist attacks and anti-Muslim protests, lead ISIS sympathizers to significantly increase pro-ISIS rhetoric, especially in areas with high far-right support.
In the second paper, I argue that armed groups strategically use terrorism to manipulate levels of anti-Muslim hostility in Western countries. I test whether terrorism leads to greater expressions of anti-Muslim hostility using data on thirty-six terrorist attacks perpetrated by radical jihadists in the West from 2010 to 2016, examining how they shaped anti-Muslim attitudes among individuals in targeted countries. I find that individuals systematically and significantly increase posting of anti-Muslim content on social media after exposure to terrorism. The effect spikes immediately after attacks, decays over time, but remains significantly higher than pre-attack levels up to a month after the events. The results also reveal that the impact of terrorist attacks on anti-Muslim rhetoric is similar for individuals who already expressed hostility to Muslims before the attacks and those who did not. Finally, I observe that the impact of terrorist attacks on anti-Muslim hostility increases with attacks resulting in greater numbers of casualties.
In the third paper, I examine what might be done to stop online radicalization and support for ISIS in the West. I collected data on community engagement events performed in the United States by the Obama Administration, which aimed to increase trust and…
