X users | Islamophobia: Social reality or political project?

Pars Today – Users on X described Islamophobia in the West as fabricated and unrealistic.

In the bustling environment of the social media platform X, a notable perspective emerges that questions the very existence of organized Islamophobia in the West. Some active users on the platform strongly believe that the phenomenon of “Islamophobia” is more of a media and political phenomenon than a reflection of widespread social reality. They argue that the term is often used to silence legitimate criticism or debate about ideas and practices related to Islam.

This Pars Today article takes a look at the opinions of both Iranian and international X users on this topic.

A user named Parsa Sedighi wrote: “Since the late 20th century, Westerners have directed the Islamophobia trend and gained significant benefits from managing it.”

Another X user, Ario, added: “Trump plundered the world under the pretext of Islamophobia, so it must be maintained for the looting to continue.”

A user named MyMission commented: “Islamophobia is an Israeli psychological operation dating back to the 1980s and 1990s.”

Another X user, Rohit, said: “There is no such thing as Islamophobia. It’s a fabricated word that every terrorist hides behind when caught.”

Another user, Sports_Account, added: “Islamophobia does not exist. It is a concept invented by terrorist organizations to target Muslims.”

Harambae also wrote: “Islamophobia is a meaningless term. Fear of Islam is completely irrational.”
