“…Earlier geographical research on Muslims tended to focus on residential segregation (Gale, 2013;Phillips, 2006) as well as processes of racialization (Kobayashi & Peake, 2000). We then began to see some geographers engaging with the term, Islamophobia, while not necessarily defining it (Dwyer, Shah, & Sanghera, 2008;Mansson McGinty, Sziarto, & Seymour-Jorn, 2012), and others who started to define its contours in research on France, Sweden and Australia (Dunn, Klocker, & Salabay, 2007;Hancock, 2015;Itaoui, 2016;Listerborn, 2015;Najib, 2019;Teeple Hopkins, 2015).…”

Islamophobia often refers to systemic racism against Muslims and the lived experiences of discrimination against people who are perceived as Muslim. These forms of racism and discrimination have intensified in the last couple of decades, especially since the War on Terror. This introduction argues that Islamophobia is a spatialized process that occurs at different scales in Muslim-minority countries: globe, nation, urban, neighbourhood, body and emotion. First, we outline a genealogy of the term, Islamophobia. Second, we demonstrate the ways in which Islamophobia occurs at different scales and is connected between scales. Finally, we introduce the papers in the special issue to highlight our argument that Islamophobia is multi-scalar. We also show how the methodological contributions of the research within geographies of Islamophobia can impact policy-making and political organizing against Islamophobia.

“…Gerda Wekerle, one initiator of the safety work in Toronto, confirms that in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks and in the context of the 'war on terrorism', 'the local level, the focus on community crime prevention in urban areas that emerged in the 1990s /…/ has also been appropriated for the antiterrorism project' (Wekerle and Jackson, 2005:43). The war on terrorism, and also military urbanism (Graham, 2009), fitted into the already emerging 'revanchist city' iii (Smith, 1996). So, what happened to the successful safety work in Toronto?…”

“…These different positions on the religious injunction to wear a headscarf can also be identified among Muslim migrant women (Dwyer 1999;Hancock 2014;Piela 2012;Read and Bartkowski 2000;Secor 2002). In non-Muslim countries, the different interpretations of the headscarf are arguably more pronounced because there tends to be greater variability in religious meanings (Amir-Moazami and Salvatore 2003).…”

AbstractThe headscarf (hijab) and its relation to Muslim identity and gender relations within Islam is a major topic of contention for Muslim women living in Western Europe. One aspect of this is that they have to present an acceptable religious identity vis-à-vis other Muslims. The present study uses membership categorization analysis to examine the membership categories and category-bound attributes used in Internet forum discussions on the headscarf among Moroccan-Dutch women. The analysis shows how the category of 'true' Muslim is linked to wearing the headscarf out of religious submission. Women who did not wear the headscarf produced accounts that emphasized personal conviction and religious engagement as additional defining attributes of a 'true' Muslim, or emphasized other activities or predicates as being critical for a Muslim female identity. With these accounts, these women negotiated the normative religious context on which categorization practices with fellow believers are based.
