“…As Jackson (1993: 395) formulated it, "dysfunctional intergroup relations are undoubtedly among the most crucial threats facing our species". A contemporary issue that has received much attention from scholars as well as the mainstream media is the rise of Islamophobia (Awan, 2010, Bouma et al 2011, Krondorfer 2015, Markus 2011. Described as irrational fear and ideological hatred towards Muslims or the religion of Islam as a whole, it is based on misconceptions and is manifest in discriminatory practices (Awan 2010, Krondorfer 2015.…”

“…In today's society, increased intercultural contact is more likely, due to globalization and increased migration. At the same time however, due to events in the past decade, intercultural conflict seems to be on the rise, with Islamophobia having received much scholarly and media attention (Awan 2010, Bouma, Cahill, Dellal & Zwartz 2011Droogsma 2007;Krondorfer 2015;Markus 2011).…”

This qualitative study provides novel insights into exploring factors that influence intercultural friendship formation and friendship benefits, focusing on the role of communication. A research gap has been addressed by focusing on Muslim women who wear the hijab and exploring what factors had influenced their friendship formation with people from culturally different backgrounds and what impact the friendship had on the self. Findings suggested that cultural, linguistic and religious similarity was deemed as not important for friendship formation. Instead, similar values, self-disclosure and respectful communication assisted intercultural friendship formation. Friendship barriers included cultural misconceptions and behavioral uncertainty. Clear evidence emerged that these intercultural friendships led to positive attitudinal changes of the individuals within and beyond the friendship. This included increased cultural understanding, acceptance and self-reflection. It was revealed that cultural misconceptions (and levels of Islamophobia) were eliminated and ethnocentrism was reduced.

The following chapter presents findings from group interviews with Muslims and Jews conducted in Norway between May 2016 and May 2017. Six groups were interviewed; three had Jewish participants and three had Muslim participants. The chapter explores interpretative patterns among the interviewees, focusing on the ways in which antisemitism and Islamophobia were expressed or rejected in the conversations, and how antisemitism and Islamophobia were perceived as contemporary societal problems. Photographs were used as visual prompts during the interviews and served as a starting point for the analysis of the social interaction between the interviewees. A central question of the analysis is how intergroup attitudes were negotiated and eventually regulated throughout the conversations.
