A study conducted in Canada revealed the networks that influenced and funded Islamophobia, as it “has become a transnational sector.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jasmin Zine, a professor of Sociology, Religion and Culture, and the Muslim Studies Option at Wilfrid Laurier University, said the Islamophobia industry has a market of $1.5 billion in the US only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saying that the market is coordinated by 39 US-based organizations, Zine and her team concluded the 127-page report in four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Islamophobia networks are transnational. They’re not just in Canada or the United States. A lot of funding for this industry comes from the US, and some of the studies there show it’s a $1.5 billion market in total. Some of this support is promoting anti-Islamic propaganda,” Zine said, adding that it has also infiltrated Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Citing her report, Zine affirmed that “media outlets” are one of the major actors in the “Islamophobia industry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to her research, there are nearly 300 far-right and white supremacist groups active in Islamophobic incidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
