Arches Quarterly – Volume 4 Edition 7
Latest Issue – Islamophobia and Anti Muslim Hatred
The Cordoba Foundation presents its Winter 2010 edition of Arches Quarterly, a journal providing nuanced analysis of the issues and developments in the arena of dialogue, civilizations, and a rapprochement between Islam and the West.
In this edition, Arches Quarterlyresponds to the rising levels of anti-Muslim hatred across the globe. Commonly referred to as “Islamophobia”, contributors discuss among other things, conceptual challenges posed by the term, the location of it in the racial imperial-colonial matrix and by providing examples from across the world, show that it is a reality in today’s climate. The issue also explores the responsibility of Muslim civil society to combat internal and external challenges.
