This couldn\u2019t be further from the truth: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Islam has been a part of European history for a thousand and three hundred years. Today, it\u2019s the second-biggest world religion and the second-most populous religion in Europe as well. 44 million Muslims live in Europe \u2013 not counting Turkey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The faith of 1.91 billion people with a history of seventeen hundred years is very diverse. What we can say for sure is that Islam is part of European history and our cultural heritage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But alongside it has come another phenomenon: anti-Islam political movements, first as religious ideology and later in a racialized cloak. And today it\u2019s gaining more traction in Europe, especially as conflicts tense up around immigrant populations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can also listen to the episode in a podcast format on the Cultural Broadcast Archive, or wherever you get your podcasts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"qPumjj19wR\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cba.media\/694084\">Standard Time talk show S2E10: No foreign body<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eStandard Time talk show S2E10: No foreign body\u201c \u2013 cba - cultural broadcasting archive\" src=\"https:\/\/cba.media\/694084\/embed#?secret=71OoVpURyF#?secret=qPumjj19wR\" data-secret=\"qPumjj19wR\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim racism form a double helix across European history. These ideologies have informed the politics of the Christian parts of Europe for over a thousand years, and have always been used to galvanize fragmented polities against a shared enemy or a scapegoat. Anti-Muslim racism is an expression of a politically constructed duality between Islam and Christianity, described by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edward Sa\u00efd in 1978: \u2018The Orient and Islam have a kind of extrareal, phenomenologically reduced status that puts them out of reach of everyone except the Western expert. From the beginning of Western speculation about the Orient, the one thing the orient could not do was to represent itself. Evidence of the Orient was credible only after it had passed through and been made firm by the refining fire of the Orientalist\u2019s work.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today, in the asecond of our twin episodes on these intertwined prejudices, we look into anti-Muslim racism and how it informs public discourse.<\/p>\n<p>In the last episode, we talked about anti-Semitism, and today, we have three guests of varying Muslim backgrounds living in Europe and talking about their experience and perspective.<\/p>\n<h2>Guests<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Amani Abuzahra<\/strong> holds a doctorate in philosophy, is an author, public speaker and one of the best-known speakers on the topic of Islam and anti-Muslim racism in Austria.
