“…Seen through the prism of security and risk, Muslims in the West have emerged as the new 'folk devils' of popular and media imagination (Zempi and Chakraborti, 2014). Within this paradigm, Islam is understood as a violent political ideology, religion and culture; Muslim men are perceived as the embodiment of terrorism, fundamentalism and extremism; and Muslim women are viewed as the personification of gender oppression in Islam, especially if they are veiled.…”

“…The wider hate crime literature demonstrates a 'unique' impact associated with targeted victimization (Botcherby et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2012;Williams and Tregidga, 2014). In the context of anti-Muslim hate crime, both online and offline attacks upon Muslims ''hurt'' more than ordinary crimes as they are seen as an attack upon the victims' core identity (Zempi and Chakraborti, 2014). In this context, the impact of anti-Muslim hate crime may exceed that of 'normal' crime because of victims' perceived and actual vulnerability due to their affiliation to Islam.…”

online and offline anti-Muslim hate crime. We draw on our different experiences of conducting research on anti-Muslim hate crime, using two independent research projects in order to consider the affinity between online and offline anti-Muslim hate crime. We argue that, in reality, online/offline boundaries may be more blurred than the terms imply. For victims, it is often difficult to isolate the online threats from the intimidation, violence and abuse that they suffer offline. Moreover, victims often live in fear because of the possibility of online threats materialising in the 'real world'. We conclude that there is a continuity of anti-Muslim hostility in both the virtual and the physical world, especially in the globalized world.

“…By association, Muslims, or followers of the religion of Islam, have been portrayed by certain sections of the media as 'terrorists', barbaric and violent (Burdsey, 2007;Saeed, 2007). Muslim women are often singled out in the media's negative reporting, specifically women who wear the hijab, or head covering (Khalid, 2011;Zempi, and Chakraborti, 2014). Indeed, the trend in the media is to characterize Muslim women as weak and docile or linked to Islamic fundamentalism (see Bing, 2010;Women's Hour, 14 July, 2014).…”

“…One example of this is Islam's requirement of modest dress. Clothing is a complicated issue and in recent debates with women who follow Islamic religion and culture, it is argued that some women prefer these dress codes and chose to wear items such as the hijab and burqa (see Abu-Lughod, 2002;Women's Hour, 14 July, 2014;Zempi and Chakraborti, 2014).…”

This entry attempts to discuss and debate the veil issues in social, cultural, political, and media contexts. Also, it observes the impact of veil reporting in the media on the British Muslim community. It asks a fundamental question: is the veil really an issue that affects ordinary people's lives? Furthermore, it suggests that the veil issue is a test case for Western liberal democracies that take pride in equal rights but at the same time impose restrictions on veil wearing by Muslim women, which reflects their double standards. Additionally, it argues that some sections of the British media and polity are using the veil issue for their own political motives. It seems that these forces are unwilling to accept that wearing the veil or a headscarf is a personal choice, a sign of piety and modesty, and it has no connection with oppression.
