Measuring the cost of the anti-Muslim discourse, and by extension the Islamophobia Industry, is typically measured in anti-Muslim hate crimes. In the years spanning 2001 to 2015, there were more than 2,500 anti-Muslim incidents, which targeted more than 3,000 Muslims, according to the FBI.
Even more concerning is the fact hate crimes against Muslims in the United States surged 67% in 2017, no doubt fuelled by the hostile tone and rhetoric US President Trump has used to demonize Muslims and Islam, while hate crimes against Muslims have surged in the UK and Europe, no doubt fuelled by the kind of anti-immigrant sentiments expressed by re-energized far-right political parties.
