Islamophobia is the dislike, fear, pre-judgment, hostility or hate^[1]^[2] against Muslims (people following the religion Islam) or the religion itself.

Sometimes people use it to attack the ideological positions taken by Muslims, but more often than not they state the religion itself as the actual problem.

Muslim women are more likely to experience islamophobia in their lifetime compared to Muslim men, especially if they are wearing some kind of face veil.^[3]

Examples of islamophobia in the world[edit]

During the Bosnian War in the 1990s, Serbian Orthodox Christians committed a genocide against Bosniak Muslims, with a strong motive of islamophobia.^[4]

In France, since 2013, it is illegal for Muslim women to wear veils (burqas and niqabs) that cover their faces publicly.^[5]
