Rice University Study: Islamophobia Is Racism Mixed With Cultural Intolerance

67

A new study from a sociologist with Rice University puts forth the idea that Islamophobia is a mix of racism and cultural intolerance — a curious finding, given Islam is not a race but rather, a religion.

So how can it be racist to regard Islam with some manner of suspicion?

The journal Religions published the piece, entitled “The Radicalization of Islam in the United States: Islamophobia: Hate Crimes and ‘Flying White Brown.'”

Craig Considine

Author Craig Considine, a lecturer in sociology at the university, analyzed more than 40 articles to come up with his findings.

Rice University has more:

Considine, a lecturer in sociology at Rice, reviewed more than 40 news articles and referenced dozens of academic studies relating to the experiences of American Muslims and the stereotypical depictions of Muslims. His analysis revealed several findings from the various articles and research papers that support his argument that racism is a symbolic form of Islamophobia, which has been misrepresented as a form of religious bias that oppresses U.S. Muslims on the grounds that Islam is nefarious and antithetical to American values.

“We often hear that because Muslims are not a race, people cannot be racist for attacking Muslims,” Considine said. “This argument does not stack up. It is a simplistic way of thinking that overlooks the role that race plays in Islamophobic hate crimes.”

Considine summarizes the findings below:

  • In 2016 alone, incidents of Islamophobia, including acts of violence and nonviolent harassment, rose by 57 percent.
  • More than half of hate crimes in the U.S. in 2015 – 59.2 percent – were linked to a race/ethnicity/ancestry bias. Only 19.7 percent of hate crimes were linked to a religious bias, and 17.7 percent to a sexual orientation bias.
  • More than 50 percent of Muslims experienced some form of hostility between 2010 and 2014, and more than one-third of Muslims felt they had been targeted on the basis of being identified as Muslim.
  • News outlets give drastically more coverage to crimes by Muslims. Attacks by Muslim perpetrators received, on average, 449 percent more coverage than crimes carried out by non-Muslims.
  • Out of more than 1,000 Hollywood films depicting Arabs, 932 of these films depicted them in a stereotypical or negative light. For example, Arabs/Muslims were constructed as the ominous figure: the bearded, dark-skinned, turban-wearing terrorist. Only 12 films depicted these individuals in a positive way.

Considine said that in spite of the racialization of Islam, the population of Muslims in the U.S. is heterogeneous. Of the approximately 3.3 million Muslims of all ages living in the U.S. in 2017, no single racial or ethnic group accounts for more than 30 percent of the total population. Thirty percent of U.S. Muslims describe themselves as white, 23 percent as black, 21 percent as Asian, 6 percent as Hispanic and 19 percent as other or mixed race. In addition, 81 percent of Muslims in the U.S. are American citizens.

“Despite the racial, ethnic and cultural diversity of the U.S. Muslim population, they continue to be cast as potentially threatening persons based on perceived racial and cultural characteristics,” Considine said.

He also said the racially motivated incidents of hate crime examined in this paper – including one incident where a Sikh in Mesa, Ariz., was shot and killed in the days following Sept. 11 by a man who said he wanted to “kill a Muslim” in retaliation for the terrorist attacks – suggest that Islamophobia does not belong in the realm of “rational” criticism of Islam or Muslims. In this situation, the perpetrator confused the man’s beard and turban as a representation of Islam, and effectively used his “race” to categorize and ultimately harm him in the worst way imaginable, Considine said.

“This incident and other incidents referenced in the paper are examples of how Muslims have been racialized and thus subjected to a kind of racism,” he said. “This has led to U.S. citizens getting an idea of who the so-called ‘bad guys’ are and acting based on this knowledge. Taking a ‘colorblind’ understanding of Islamophobia – that is, to dismiss the role that race plays in anti-Muslim racism – legitimizes certain racialized practices and maintains inequalities such as racial profiling at airports, police brutality, housing and job discrimination and voter disenfranchisement.”

Considine hopes the paper will raise awareness of the racialization of Islam in the U.S. and help to counter the rising Islamophobia across the country.

“We would be misguided to dismiss the role that race plays in incidents where Muslims and non-Muslims are targeted due to stereotypes of ‘Muslim identity,’” he said. “This identity, insofar as the American context goes, appears to be weighted with racial meanings.”

Islamophobia is a mix of racism and cultural intolerance … “they continue to be cast as potentially threatening persons based on perceived racial and cultural characteristics,” Considine said.

Quite right, Rice, I am intolerant of an ideology that demands that I pay the jizya with willing submission and generally relegates me to a second class legal status based not on my actions, but simply my lack of adherence to its intolerant, supremacist belief system. Suck it up, Considine.

I’ve often wondered if the jizya is being imposed on the unfortunate kafir al najjis unfortunate enough to live in any islamic state today — perhaps under cover of some other form of taxation that only the unbelievers in islum have to pay.

This is the huge problem with the political correctness today, as it applies to the free pass that Islam is getting. Islam is a political/religious system, having nothing to do with race in the least. While it has adopted the divisiveness, division, and rage of the Arab world, ethnicity has nothing to do with Islam. So the charge of racism used against those who reject the vile and corrupt religion is just an empty attack, designed to put people on the defensive who are afraid of being labeled as racists. This is a typical tactic of the left, and is being used for some reason in defense of this indefensible religion.

This author is completely clueless. How someone with a Ph.D. can be so clueless is beyond me. Let’s start with the very term Islamophobia. A phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear. Islam is a religion based on the belief system that those who do not believe in Islam (infidels) are less than human and Muslims (those who hold a belief in Islam) are COMMANDED by the Quran (the Islamic equivalent of the Bible) to murder all infidels. Having a fear of or aversion to people who by their religious beliefs are bound by their religion to murder non-believers, is NOT a phobia, it is normal. The very term Islamaphobia is, by definition, a contradiction in terms. To NOT fear an entire religion that is commanded to murder everyone not Muslim is idiotic. The Quran and Islam should be viewed as a hate group and so classified. Muslims are not categorized as radical or moderate. They are the same. Some are just not as open about the slaughter as others are. As someone once pointed out to me, a radical Muslim will chop off your head. A moderate may not chop off your head, but he’ll hold your feet while the radical chops off your head. Their Quran tells them that they must fight against the infidels, to not take them as friends. To do whatever they must (including lie, cheat, etc.) to further Islam or they will not go to heaven. The Quran is a manual of hate and murder and intolerance. Defending it is inexcusable for any non-Muslim. The useful fools like the author will be beheaded along with the rest of the infidels when the time comes. This is literally an us or them situation. And no Muslim can call himself an American. Sharia Law (Muslim Law) stands in stark contrast to the US Constitution. They cannot coexist. You are Muslim or you are American. Pick one.

David,

Muslims are not categorized as radical or moderate. They are the same.

Islam is not a peaceful religion, but from that it simply does not follow that there are no peaceful or moderate Moslems. People have an enormous appetite for picking from their religious traditions a la carte.

Liatris,
I agree with you….there are moderate Muslims, even if many of the teachings in the Koran are not. I’ve known some, and they wouldn’t support terrorism at all.
Many of them don’t follow the violent teachings anymore than Christians today follow the verses that order people to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath.

Of course, the jihadists are another matter, and they need to be stopped before they kill more innocent people.

loan and Liatris you are both missing the point. Sure there are Muslims who are moderate and they reject the violence which is the way of the Islamic terrorists, but I believe that both of you are missing the point made by this article and the commentaries justifying the concern and fear of us non-Muslims as outlined above. This fear that I refer to is not based on cowardice, for no one has ever accused me of being a coward, to the contrary, I believe I am a person who has always stood up for and spoken what I believe, without fear. The realities that exist today make this belief system very dangerous to those of us who are non-Muslim, and the conduct of the radicals is evidence to us that the belief system is dangerous. While I recognize that many, if not most, Muslims reject the radical belief of the terrorist believers, and I know many like that here in the States, it is also clear that there is little effort to effectively reject the Jihadi conduct by those within the Muslim world. That is what we here are seeing, and it is the reason that we right and reasonable thinking people are very much concerned by those within this dangerous belief system.

The Jihadi’s are never denounced by ‘moderates’ except to non muslims. They would become targets themselves by Jihadi’s and they know it. The ‘moderates’ have no theologic ground to stand on, and to take a stand means to reject Qu’ranic pronouncements and commands. That… they will never do. But they will also never
denounce the made up ‘Islamophobia’ meme, as that would make them seem to be
anti muslim.

I congratulate you on your commentary. It is well thought out and well said. The articles sociologist is playing games with semantics. I see the problem much as you do, and no matter what you call it, the reality and results are very much the same as your analysis. Call it what you may, but the truth is that today, the non-Muslims of the world have good reason to fear the Muslim community, no matter what label you put on it. As was said recently by an Islamic scholar in Indonesia, the wrongful and radical acceptance of the interpretations given to the Quran justifies us non-Muslims to react with an understanding that the belief system that is Islam is being followed by those believers in a manner that will result in injury to non-Muslims. Since the moderates within the Islamic belief system cannot seem to control, change or reject the radical conduct of those within their belief system, we are rightly going to react with concern and fear, and you can call it what you may, “Islamophobia” or “racism” or “anti-religion,” the fear is real and justified, especially based on the conduct of the radicals that is clearly observable today, and is consistent with the same conduct over the last 1400+ years. Therefore, separating all the linguistic garbage from the reality, leaves all of us non-Muslims with legitimate reasons to be concerned for our well being and to fear any and all those who believe in this long time and continuing danger emanating from the belief system called Islam.

Muslims are both old nazis(grand mufti Al Hussaini) and neo nazis all the muslim states and 99,99% of all muslims. At least 30% of all muslims are active terrorists, the rest are helping the terrorists even if for the being they don´t participate in the terrorist action.Maybe 0,1 or less are ex muslims who left islam, but must hide it. And still less of them are brave enough to tell the truth about islam like Nonie Darwish, Ayan Hirsi Ali.
There are no moderate muslims.

Another completely insane “lecturer” in academia who is burning the midnight oil to find ways to link a made up term, “islamophobia” with racism. These people are so regressive and so destructive to our country, their actions should be seriously considered as treasonous, for he and his fellow travelers are actually inciting violence against all non-muslims. The more radical the ideas being excreted out of the nation’s universities, the more the left seems to gobble them up and accept them. The enemy is within and our nations university students biggest problems upon graduation will not be enormous student debt but, having to live in the rubble of a society they helped to promote.

Again. the Left is giving its middle finger to reality. Even if fear of Islam is not unjustified or racist, it still is.

As a bearer of multi-spectral degrees in the “hard” sciences, engineering, and “social sciences”, Considine’s “conclusion in the abstract” is ridiculous. He declares that people who FACTUALLY STATE “Muslims are not a race, people cannot be racist for attacking Muslims” is bogus, doesn’t “stack up” and is “simplistic thinking”.

I actually read the PDF of his “article”- this “sociologist” is totally unencumbered by BASICS of academic integrity and “double-blind” research; he seeks out EXCLUSIVE examples of Muslim “victimhood”, provided by sources like the “Council of American Islamic Relations”, and DOESN’T qualify them by ratio or proportion against victims of Muslim aggression. He references like-minded individuals, quote, “when the perpetrator of a terrorist attack is Muslim, you can expect that attack to receive about four and a half times more media coverage than if the perpetrator was not Muslim.”

His assertion completely misses the point that RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM is dispensed at a higher degree of magnitude, and can’t comprehend flying passenger jets into the WTC will generate far more headlines than a “hate crime” miscreant hurling bacon at a mosque.

He also makes no reference whatsoever of the plethora of FACTUAL RECORDED EVIDENCE of large-scale terroristic threats, decapitations of hostages by children, rape pandemics VALIDATED by Interpol and UN stats, and “imminent Muslim takeover” of the “West”, and amusingly “concludes” his “conclusion” with “Conflicts of Interest: The author declares no conflict of interest.”

It is only the muslims who demand, demand and demand and the more the powers that be give in, the more they demand.

Thank you. You are right, there are a lot of hacks and charlatans doing “research” , where, for a fee, they will come up with whatever result the client pays for. It is rather pathetic when formerly respectable institutions resort to such lies, it turns them into madrassa’s. The six tenets of islamic lies are being followed by research such as was present. • Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam. [4] [5]
• Kitman: deceit by omission.[6]
• Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.[7]
• Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).[8]
• Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).[9]
• Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear “moderate”.

“Author Craig Considine, a lecturer in sociology at the university, analyzed more than 40 articles to come up with his findings”. For a university level researcher, this guy is a few lines short in his dictionary. To start with, a “phobia” is an irrational fear of something. As this alleged researcher has researched only 40 articles, it appears he is using the false “proof by selected instance” to give an illusion of a nebulous point. The fear of islam is not a phobia, it is a real measurable, observable phenomena with many more than 40 contemporary examples. In honour of his study, he is a nominee for the coveted “Dunning Kruger” award for academic ignorance.

Considine is a protege of the third rate professor Akbar Ahmed. So, it is not surprising that he would come up with something like this.

Here is Professor Ahmed’s “Journey into America” which should be entitled “Journey into the Muslim Brotherhood”. Keep a copy of ISNA’s speakers list handy to help identify the individuals in this panoply of Muslim Brotherhood members, groups, and ideas.

“The Muslim American Society (MAS) is a nonprofit organization founded
in 1993 that describes itself as an Islamic revival and reform movement.

It was created after a debate among Muslim Brotherhood members in the
U.S. about whether to remain underground or to have a public face. Both
Mohammed Mahdi Akef, now the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide,
and Ahmed Elkadi, leader of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, were pivotal in
the founding of the MAS in America.

MAS has instructed its members to evade questions about the group’s ties
to the Muslim Brotherhood, and to define jihad as a “divine legal
right” of Muslims to be used for defense and the spread of Islam.

MAS leaders have said that these views are not now held by MAS leaders.”

“Mr. Abdullah was imam of the Masjid Al-Haqq mosque and was connected
to a group known as “Ummah,” a brotherhood that seeks to establish a
separate state within the U.S. that would be ruled by strict Islamic or
Sharia law, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

Ummah’s leader is Jamil Abdullah al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap
Brown, who is now serving time in a prison for the murder of two police
officers in Georgia. He was a prominent Black Panther during the late
1960s and early 1970s.

Mr. Abdullah had become a person of interest to the FBI several years
ago, partly for espousing the use of violence against law enforcement.
He has trained members of his group in the use of firearms and martial
arts in anticipation of some type of action against the government, the
U.S. attorney’s office said.”

“Our students might say, ‘Why are we still fighting in Iraq, or why are
we still fighting in Afghanistan?’ And that opens up the entire context
of 9/11, then we do go into it.”

And for the most part, that’s how the MCC handles 9/11. It comes up in
impromptu discussions in social studies class. Since 9/11 this Islamic
school has also started explicitly teaching that extremism is wrong in
religion classes.

But at least one parent thinks the school should do more. That’s Khawaja Rizwan Kadir.”

Is Gnome Chompsky a muslum apologist/sympathizer?

“The policies of Hama’s are more forthcoming and more conducive to a peaceful settlement” Yeah the charter of Hamas which quotes one of the “authentic” ahadith that calls for the worldwide extermination of Jews is very “forthcoming”. Maybe Gnome Chompsky is referring to the peace of the grave — which muslums have tried to bring the Jews in Israel on at least three different occasions.
Sacha Baron Cohen did a great job interviewing Gnome Chompsky in his “jungalist” persona:

Islam isn’t a race…people of all sorts of different colors are part of it. I think even Malcolm X commented that when he went to Mecca, he worshiped with dark haired and dark eyed people, alongside blonde-haired blue eyed people.

No religion is specific to any one skin color….blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, Middle-Easterners, whatever, are members of different religions. I see that the writer is trying to point out hate-crimes incidents….but he’s getting his facts all wrong.

And he hasn’t taken into account the fact jihadist-related terrorism has spiked horribly high over the past few years….so yes, the media will focus on it more.
Noticing jihadists are committing most attacks isn’t any kind of phobia, it’s honest. If there was a worldwide group of, say, extremist Hindus murdering Christians on the scale jihadists are, I’d expect the media to focus on that as well.

After the 9/11 attacks, the sixteenth anniversary of which was just last Monday, how about we all agree to call it “protective reaction”. You know, just like after Pearl Harbor in ’41? “Healthy skepticism” doesn’t even scratch the surface, let alone such leftist BS excuses as “racism” and “intolerance”.

If islamophobia is rasict, then the term is meant to slander an identifiable group – conservatives. Since the definition is based on an illogical premise, the common trashing of those of conservative thought is even more racist, since it’s a publicly approved insult. The hallmark of the left is the gross projection of their own evils.

“[Muslims] continue to be cast as potentially threatening persons based on perceived racial and cultural characteristics” .

What nonsense. Doesn’t this author consider that 9/11 and the 36 thousand other jihad attacks since might have something to do with a phobia of Muslims? Actually, not even phobia, but a rational fear. In fact, that is why the author goes wrong, because he doesn’t examine initial assumptions in the beginning.

The reality of the matter is that non-arab Muslims do not like Arab Muslims. It’s one of the reasons why Sunni murders Shis and Shia murders Sunni as they both cry alAkbar especially in the Middle East. The conflict between Muslims is indeed racist and the conflict the Muslims have with the West is due to that same resentment.

Phobia
pho·bi·a…[ˈfōbēə]…NOUN; an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something:
Islamophobia actually has no legitimate meaning! Islam’s tenants call for the subjugation of all who do not accept Islam, it calls for the death of anyone leaving Islam, it calls for violence against non-believers, and it validates lying to attain its goals.
So how can there be a “phobia” toward Islam when there is NOT an “irrational fear” but fear and aversion based on the ultimate goal of Islam and the tactics the followers of Islam use to attain their goal.
The more accurate term should be “Islamoreality”.

Islam isn’t a religion either, but an ideology of evil and intolerance in and by itself.

One only has to consider this: How many Christians have committed acts of terrorism in the last 10 years? How many committed by Muslims?

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck: its a duck. Do you really believe those moderate Muslims really care if you blow up a few infidels. They just care on how it effects them. After all, they are only scum on the earth as Muslim is the only way.
