“…Since the emergence of ISIS, there has been a growing pressure on Muslims, exerted by the mainstream media and non‐Muslim populations of European countries, to distance themselves from ‘extremists’ by publicly denouncing ‘Islamic terrorism’ and presenting themselves as ‘peaceful and loyal citizens’ (Van Es ). Violence and brutality of ISIS, by some observers, is considered to be ‘beyond anything we have ever seen’ (Friis ).…”

Perception of Western governments’ hostility to Islam among European Muslims before and after ISIS: the important roles of residential segregation and education

Perception of Western governments’ hostility to Islam is one of the indicating features of Islamic fundamentalism and, in some cases, is serving as a pull to join extremist groups. In this paper, using data from two waves of a cross‐national survey, we investigate what affects European Muslims’ opinions about Western governments. We find that residential segregation is associated with perceived hostility of Western governments to Islam. Further, we find that Muslims living in segregated neighbourhoods and enclaves have a higher probability of believing that Western governments are hostile to Islam. National origins of Muslim immigrants have a significant impact, with people from African countries measuring less perceived hostility than others. We also find that education is associated with perceived hostility of Western governments to Islam in a non‐linear way. People with the highest and lowest levels of education tend to be less likely to believe that Western governments are hostile to Islam, relative to people with mid‐level education. This non‐linear effect is best explained by education’s differential effects on perceptions of key world events. During the time between 2011 – before ISIS’s announcement of its Caliphate in Iraq and Syria – and 2013, subsequent to that announcement, we see a sharp decrease in perception of Western governments’ hostility to Islam, particularly among more educated European Muslims. We make the case that this decrease can be attributed, in some ways, to the emergence of ISIS. We discuss our findings in terms of theoretical and policy implications.

“…It has been widely observed that the most widespread and most controversial issues concerning Islam that Muslims have to deal with today include violent extremism and oppression of women, which is often associated with the female practice of wearing headscarves. For example, Muslims are constantly asked to denounce violent extremism; if they do not, then they will be assumed to support it (van Es 2018(van Es , 2019b. The headscarf, on the other hand, tends to be regarded as the symbol of the purported backwardness of Islam (van Es 2019a; Allievi 2006, p. 120).…”

The present article discusses the ways in which ethnic Japanese Muslim women are perceived and treated in contemporary Japanese society, through a case study of one Japanese female convert. It examines the complexity found in her experiences of marginality by highlighting three inter-related modes of marginalization: marginality deriving from being a Muslim, from being a Japanese Muslim and from being a woman. It discusses her responses to these discourses of marginalization and how she establishes her identity as a Muslim, through responding to them. The article first shows that ethnic Japanese Muslims suffer 'inverted marginality'-marginalization due to belonging to the ethno-cultural majority. It then demonstrates their experience of 'double marginality', marginalization by the wider Japanese society and foreign-born Muslims alike. It argues that their experience of double marginality has partly resulted from the absence of a self-sufficient ethnic community of Japanese Muslims. Ethnic Japanese Muslim women experience further marginalization when they become targets for criticism of Islam, such as that Islam is a religion of female subjugation-a notion of gender orientalism that deprives these women of their agency. However, the process of responding to these challenges of marginality helps ethnic Japanese Muslim women consolidate their identity as Muslims.

“…A person or group conducting it for fear is considered as primary emotion with fitness-enhancing properties (Haner, Sloan, Cullen, Kulig, & Jonson, 2019). Following this, their understanding is far from the concept of Islam that does not allow violence and crime in any form (Es, 2018). Crime and evil deeds both are not at all the teachings of Islam.…”
