HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:
Islamophobia is sustained and justified by the myths we tell/are told about Muslims. This factsheet addresses some of these narratives, assessing their legitimacy using statistics/facts:
- “Islam promotes violence and Muslims are violent.”
- “Islam oppresses women and Muslims are misogynistic.”
- “Islam is homophobic/transphobic, and Muslims are intolerant of queer/trans people.”
- “Sharia law is a barbaric punitive system and we must safeguard against its imposition here.”
