Definition
- Islamophobia is a phobic reaction of non-Islamic people toward Muslims, as well as feelings of negative emotions such as anger and contempt toward Islam and Muslims. The term is derived from the Greek word phobos, denoting overanxiety in relation to an object (such as being more anxious about Muslims than is justified by reality).
