Connecting Thread: American and Global Islamophobia

Written by: Tarek Cherkaoui

Dr. Tarek Cherkaoui hosts Professor Khaled Beydoun to unpack some of the ideological constructs behind the phenomenon of Islamophobia in the US and overseas.

Muslims worldwide are challenged by the rise of Islamophobia and violent Islamophobic attacks. State-sponsored pogroms and genocides have occurred in the past decade in disparate locations ranging from Bosnia, Myanmar, and India. Meanwhile, the war on terror has paved the way for a mass-mediated demonisation process in the US and internationally. In this episode of media mind, Dr. Tarek Cherkaoui hosts Professor Khaled Beydoun to unpack some of the ideological constructs behind the phenomenon of Islamophobia in the US and overseas. This podcast is produced and edited by Sabri Ege.
