Summary / Abstract (Note) | In countries of immigration it is often assumed, and sometimes quite clearly demonstrated, that the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath had a negative impact on ethnic relations, especially with regard to the perception and treatment of Muslims, who often represent a significant minority population, particularly in Europe. Most analysts agree, though, that these phenomena were not created by the post-9/11 wave of islamophobia, but thrived on the fertile ground of a problematic historical relationship with the Muslim world, which dates back to the Crusades and was nourished by colonialism.1 |
