In our age of globalisation and pandemic, how should we react to
the new Islamophobic movements now spreading in the West?
Everywhere the far right is on the march, with nationalist and
populist parties thriving on the back of popular anxieties about
Islam and the Muslim presence. Hijab and minaret bans, mosque
shootings, hostility to migrants and increasingly scornful media
stereotypes seem to endanger the prospects for friendly coexistence
and the calm uplifting of Muslim populations. In this series of
essays Abdal Hakim Murad dissects the rise of Islamophobia on the
basis of Muslim theological tradition. Although the proper response
to the current impasse is clearly indicated in Qur'an and Hadith,
some have lost the principle of trust in divine wisdom and are
responding with hatred, fearfulness or despair. Murad shows that a
compassion-based approach, rooted in an authentic theology of
divine power, could transform the current quagmire into a bright
landscape of great promise for Muslims and their neighbours.
