SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Due to the kidnapping incident of Korean short-term missionaries in Afghanistan in 2007, increased discrimination following the September 11 attacks, and the physical appearance of Muslim foreigners, Korea has an overwhelmingly widespread misunderstanding, a distorted image, and a fear of Islam (Islamophobia). Despite an increase in its Muslim population, Korean society appears to have little understanding of or appreciation for this population. After migration to Korea, Muslim migrant workers encounter various challenges in their everyday life experiences during the adaptation process.
