“…Med andre ord, skjaerer de alle over én kam? Negative oppfatninger av muslimer er utbredt i Europa (Strabac & Listhaug 2008;Ogan, Willnat, Pennington, & Bashir 2013;Savelkoul, Scheepers, van der Veld & Hagendoorn 2012), og spørsmålet er om antimuslimske holdninger øker befolkningens villighet til å akseptere større inngrep overfor norske muslimer generelt. I en analyse av åpne spørsmål om nordmenns holdninger til muslimer, er det vist at negative holdninger bunner i at muslimene av mange anses å utgjøre en trussel mot sentrale verdier i det norske samfunnet, og formuleringer knyttet til «terror» er vanlig (se Moe, Døving, Levin & Lenz 2016:9).…”

Professor, Institutt for Administrasjons-og organisasjonsvitenskap, Universitetet i Bergen Jacob.aars@uib.no SAMMENDRAG Staten har en oppgave i å skape trygghet for innbyggerne. Det å avdempe frykt er et viktig element i antiterrorpolitikken, og denne politikken kan i sin tur reflektere innbyggernes psykologiske reaksjoner på terrorhendelser. Forskning, spesielt fra USA, viser at terrorfrykt er assosiert med økt intoleranse og sterke fordommer overfor grupper som oppfattes som «annerledes». Med dette som utgangspunkt spør vi om nordmenn setter grensen for bruk av telefonavlytting forskjellig, avhengig av hvem som er målgruppen for slik avlytting. For eksempel, skiller innbyggerne tydelig mellom radikale muslimer og muslimer generelt, eller har terrorfrykten bidratt til en generell mistro mot norske muslimer? Vi spør også hvorfor noen er tilbøyelige til å gi Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste (PST) et stort handlingsrom, mens andre er motstandere. Disse spørsmålene besvares med bakgrunn i et surveyeksperiment gjennomført høsten 2015. Vi finner at hvilke grupper PST ønsker å bruke telefonavlytting overfor, har stor betydning for befolkningens støtte til slik avlytting. Våre resultater tyder derimot ikke på at terrorfrykt gir lavere toleranse overfor muslimer som gruppe. Innbyggernes villighet til å gi PST det PST ønsker er også i høy grad betinget av kjennetegn ved innbyggerne selv.

“…These data and facts, supported by several studies on Islamophobia in Europe; which specifically highlights the spread of Islamophobia as 'prejudice' to all Muslims. 2008 data from the Pew Global Attitude Project and the 2010 Pew News Interest Index mention, that the 'prejudices' towards Islam, developed further politically into a more radical conservative movement; which representations appear in the form of hate speech 13 . This phenomenon, is a kind of social change that significantly builds a mindset that emphasizes more emotional, which is not uncommonly based on misunderstanding about Islam; which is historically closer to 'understanding Islam through the Western view' 14 ; This is like emphasizing Edward Said's conclusion, that Orientalists sometimes misunderstand Islam; especially because of Western methodologies and frameworks that project their worldview 15 .…”

The phenomenon of Islamophobia has always been a contemporary issue; especially in a world that is supposed to be global and full of diversity. In fact, in some Muslim-majority countries, the phenomenon is actually spread. Further study found that among the reasons was a misunderstanding in exploring and understanding Islam as a religion. Especially on the meaning of Islam as a universal religion for humans. Methodologically, this literature research model uses a historical literacy approach in the form of a Western phobia of Islam (especially religion) in the Middle Ages (antisemitic), primary sources of Islamic teachings, and Islamic religious philosophy specifically excavated from Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas. Al-Attas' analysis is used based on his capacity to understand ideas about metaphysics and Western civilization and Islam itself. The theoretical study is focusing on al-Attas' conception of 'corruption of the knowledge' that occurs as a result of 'loss of adab'. This is a global challenge for contemporary Muslims, the 'pursuit of knowledge' ; that is, the spread of 'erroneous science' that is like true, but contains falsehood and brings damage to the correct understanding of Islam. This study found that 'the corruption of the Knowledge' about Islam often results in Islamophobia; which begun with misunderstanding about the very essential things in Islam. Muslims join in Al QalamVol. 36, No. 1 (July-December 2019) 2 phobias towards their religion because of the loss of adab. Most of the misconceptions result from 1) studying Islam without referring to scientific authority 2) framing social media about Islam 3) Secularization which reduces Islam is only limited to ancient Arabic culture.

“…Right-wing adherence not only predicts outgroup threat reactions but also more negative attitudes toward minority groups such as Muslims in the United States and Europe (Ogan, Willnat, Pennington, & Bashir, 2014), immigrants in Europe (Davidov & Meuleman, 2012), and ethnic minorities in the Netherlands . Moreover, past research suggests that symbolic and realistic threat perceptions mediate the relation between right-wing adherence and prejudice (Duckitt, 2006;Hodson et al, 2009).…”

Racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minority populations are growing rapidly in the West. We investigate predictors and consequences of threat responses to perceived minority group size, and perceptions of minority group size itself. Study 1 (N = 274) finds that right‐wing adherence predicts greater size threat, whereas lower numerical ability predicts larger perceived group size (confirmed in Studies 2–3). Study 2 (Sample 1, N = 124; Sample 2, N = 263) finds that the relation between right‐wing adherence and prejudice toward minorities exhibits an indirect effect via group size threat (but not perceived size), explaining 35–66% of this relation. Study 3 (N = 310) finds a comparable indirect effect explaining 27–40% of this relation, even after statistically controlling for indirect effects of realistic, symbolic, and terroristic threat. These findings provide novel insights into psychological processes surrounding perceived minority group size, identifying size threat as especially crucial in understanding intergroup relations.
