4.9/5 (15456 ratings)

Description:The Ideological Campaign Against Muslims examines the rise of anti-Muslim andanti-Arab sentiments in the West following the end of the Cold War through GW Bush’s War onTerror to the Age of Obama. Using “Operation Desert Stormâ€ as a watershed moment, StephenSheehi examines the increased mainstreaming of Muslim-bating rhetoric and explicitly racistlegislation, police surveillance, witch-trials and discriminatory policies towards Muslims in NorthAmerica and abroad.The book focuses on the various genres and modalities of Islamophobia from the works of rogueacademics to the commentary by mainstream journalists, to campaigns by political hacks andspecial interest groups. Some featured Islamophobes are Bernard Lewis. Fareed Zakaria,Thomas Friedman, David Horowitz, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Irshad Manji, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney,John McCain, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama. Their theories and opinions operate on anassumption that Muslims, particularly Arab Muslims, suffer from particular cultural lacuna thatprevent their cultures from progress, democracy and human rights. While the assertion originatedin the colonial era, Sheehi demonstrates that it was refurbished as a viable explanation forMuslim resistance to economic and cultural globalization during the Clinton era. Moreover, thetheory was honed into the empirical basis for an interventionist foreign policy and propagandacampaign during the Bush regime and continues to underlie Barack Obama’s newinternationalism.If the assertions of media pundits and rogue academics became the basis for White Houseforeign policy, Sheehi also demonstrates how they were translated into a sustained domesticpolicy of racial profiling and Muslim-baiting by agencies from Homeland Security to theDepartment of Justice. Furthermore, Sheehi examines the collusion between non-governmentalagencies, activist groups and lobbies and local, state and federal agencies to in suppressingpolitical speech on US campuses critical of racial profiling, US foreign policy in the Middle Eastand Israel. While much of the direct violence against Muslims on American streets, shops andcampuses has subsided, Islamophobia runs throughout the Obama administration. Sheehi,therefore, concludes that Muslim and Arab-hating emanate from all corners of the Americanpolitical and cultural spectrum, serving poignant ideological functions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
