Islamophobia

Islamophobia is the term which was first time developed in the late 1990s and 2000s by the political
activist , NGO ,public commentators an international organizations to drawn attention of anti
sentiments of the Islam in the Europeans . Islamophobia term has been declared by United Nations too
against the anti sentiments of Islam. Islamophobia can be defined as anti-sentiment and indiscriminate
attitude or emotions for Islam .Islam which is the 2nd dominant religion of the world have followers all
over the globe in all the Europe to the Asia but it has been observed that Islamophobia in Europeans is
much more as compare to other countries. It has been debated in different angels anti-sentiments of
Islamophobia in all over the globe examples are debate on the construction of the Islamic center near
ground zero and masque controversies in dozen states in the united states ,anti veiling legislations in
France ; the minaret row in Switzerland and the mass murder of Turkish immigrants in Germany are
some cases which we had been seen in past . After the survey and research at the Europeans it has been
seen that Islamophobia had emerged after the fear of the Al-Qaeda (A terrorist group) which was
declared by United nation and which was responsible for 9/11 , before the incident of the 9/11 there are
few cases that can be observed in regard of Islamophobia . After the attack on world trade center by
Osama Bin ladin hate wave been created in the mind the Europeans that Muslims are terrorist. Incidents
of the attacks by Al-Qaeda group bow the seed of hate in European as well as all over the world while
Islam meaning is the peace , the religion which is by name is “peace “ .In Europe statistical data showed
that Muslims community are in 2nd number by followers , as Islam religion had sweep up all the religions
in followers because of their norms, tradition and the way of living life that Islam teach to the followers ,
as Islam is the perfect religion which has all ways to meet the Allah almighty (Great ) that’s why it’s so
far wide with having followers which are increasing day by day still why Europeans hate the Islamic
followers? And why they show anti sentiments to the followers, in research it has been seen that if in
Europeans which is Islamophobia center , Muslims Ummah is secure it’s all because of their
contributions in research , technologies which they have in the study . it’s not easy to get hate out the
mind of the Europeans. Major factor which is played during the Islamophobia is media which is playing
a vital role in that regard. Recently the Cartoon of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) had been created by
Europeans which is aggressiveness and created a hate in all Muslims Ummah as Islam is based on the
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H), After demonstration in all over the world, it was demolished by Media.
Islam phobia had been settled in the mind of the Europeans as well as all the world but how can
Muslims Ummah get out of that? It not easy but as if they will follow Prophet Muhammad then they
sure will create a gap in the Pschycology of the Europeans and globe, can divert their anti sentiments .
Also they must have to show their contributions in the science and technology which as Muslims
scientist did in past and govern the world.
