ABSTRACT

In this talk, Marwan Mohammed examines how the religion of Islam and Muslims have been represented in French society, and in what context and by what actors these representations have come to be constructed as “problems,” using the concept of “Islamophobia” as a starting point. He also clarifies how the negative discourses of Muslims are accepted by the parties concerned and what kind of collective actions are formed in response to these discourses.
