American attitude grew more intolerant towards Islam and Muslims
after 9/11 developing a different type of racism defined as
‘Islamophobia’. Insisting that no single explanation effectively
reported for the range of American racism, the paper proposed to
establish a link between racism and Islamophobia. The study was
qualitative and analyzed the data within Fredrickson’s concept of
racism as scavenger ideology, reviewing researches from twentieth
century scholarship. It claimed that racism as a manifestation of antiIslam prejudice had sustained in the history of America. Islamophobia
as an ideological war is brought forward to justify Western
particularly American racism in the backdrop of 9/11 terrorist
attacks. It is not a new concept but a fabrication of the old animosity.
The study offered a historical record of racism through which an
inclusive account of Islamophobia was elaborated. It concluded that
the entwined concepts spelled new life and ideology construction
embedded in religious fear around the globe. It is significant as it will
fill the gap in the contemporary research by examining the question
of Islamophobia in relation to racism in a substantive manner.
