A fall in Democratic practices and far-right ideologies have encouraged the spread of Islamophobic rhetoric globally. Over the past decade, social media has played a particularly detrimental role in reinforcing and disseminating concocted narratives around Islamophobia. In the US Islamophobia is a well-funded industry where anti muslim activists, propagandists, pseudo think tanks, lobbyists, bloggers and pundits received around $205 million from 7 charitable foundations over a period to churn out anti-muslim material.

Acts of violence and terrorism carried out by ISIS or Al-Qaeda are not representative of mainstream Islam or the large majority of Muslims, and, hence, Islamophobia needs to be called-out by Muslims everywhere. In Europe, ultranationalist, white supremacist and far-right mentality is prevalent. Countries like France and Austria have legislations that aim to control the Muslim civil society at large. Countries like China, Mayanmar and India need to be called-out too for their state-supported anti-Muslim policies and sentiments. Allegations of forced inter-faith marriages, between Hindu girls and Muslim men in India and Pakistan, are mostly Islamophobic charges.
