Islamophobia in the U.S. and Europe: Policy Implications
Enes Bayrakli, Researcher, The SETA Foundation, Istanbul
Farid Hafez, Researcher, Department of Political Science, University of Salzburg
Dalia Mogahed, Director of Research, Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU)
Corey Saylor, Director, Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia, Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Moderated by Ahmet Selim Tekelioglu, Research Fellow, The SETA Foundation at Washington D.C.
A recent report published by the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research (SETA) shows surging Islamophobic activities in the political environment, media outlets, streets, and businesses in 25 EU countries, as hundreds of Muslim Europeans encounter hate speech and physical attacks in daily life. Edited by Enes Bayrakli and Farid Hafez, the 582-page report includes the European Islamophobia Report's (EIR) nation-based findings on Islamophobic activities.
The panel will comparatively analyze the state of Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism in Europe and the United States. The discussion will particularly focus on policy implications of the recent tide of Islamophobia across both sides of the Atlantic, taking into account ramifications of the Syrian refugee crisis, ISIS-led terrorist attacks, and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.
