Abstract
Islamophobia is hostility towards Islam and everything identified as Islamic or Islamophilic, based on the belief that Islam is an enemy, a threat that must be countered. It is not therefore a merely critical attitude towards certain precepts of the Islamic religion or certain customs prevailing in so‐called Islamic societies. Islamophobia is a form of rejection that differs from racism and religious intolerance, one with its own distinct character and history. It is an intellectual tradition originating in the Middle Ages, shaped by a set of ideas concerning Islam that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Changes have occurred in the course of its transmission process with the result that this tradition has adapted to different geographical and temporal contexts, paving the way for the emergence of various types of Islamophobia. Whatever form it may take, Islamophobia is a violation of human rights.
