Islamophobia has become a serious threat to Muslims living in the West. Hardly a day passes by without some incident. In the past it was individuals and the media stoking Islamophobia. Now governments have also joined the fray. And recent research shows well-heeled organizations run by Zionists and Evangelical Christians are the principal financiers of promoting this hate ideology. Such organizations have also invested heavily in the armaments industry. Thus, stoking the fear of Muslims and presenting them as a “threat” to the West are used to justify wars in the Muslim world.
