In this article, we will talk about the phenomenon of Islamophobia in detail (definition, meaning, historically etc.)
linguistically:
this term consists of two parts: (Islam) which is the Islamic religion that all Muslims believe in and (phobia) and it means fear and awe
* Definition and Meaning:
-for this term, it designates any kind of hostility or hatred towards Islam, Muslims and the faithful, it aims to distort the real image of Islam
indeed, Islamophobia forms a violation of human rights and it also forms a threat to social cohesion

-The Council of Europe defines Islamophobia as: “Islamophobia can be defined as fear, or a view altered by prejudices, of Islam, Muslims and related issues.
* Historically: the term Islamophobia saw the light in the first half of the 20th century, this term was used from the 2000s, then Islamophobia became a mixture between hatred towards Muslims and criticism of Islam and all its religious practices
* Some Islamophobic acts:

1-the attacks of September 11, 2001 in New York
these attacks increased Islamophobic acts in the United States
2-the attacks of July 7 and 21, 2005 in London
3-the Madrid attacks of March 11, 2004
these events provoked negative reactions towards Muslims in general
* critics of the term "Islamophobia "
-When we say "phobia" it means that there is a mental illness and we must treat it medically
-the meaning of this term "Islamophobia" means hatred towards Islam and not towards Muslims, and it is false
* Blasphemy :
the problem is that the term Islamophobia has become a pretext to blaspheme Islam and all the followers of the Islamic religion "Dominique Sopo" announced that "the term Islamophobia is only a religious pretext attempting to withdraw our right to blasphemy ”
