This is a disturbing account of the rising tide of Islamophobia sweeping through the United States and Europe. Nathan Lean takes us through a world of conservative bloggers, right-wing talk show hosts, religious leaders and politicians, all united in their quest to exhume the ghosts of 9/11 and convince their compatriots that Islam is the enemy. Lean uncovers their scare tactics, reveals their motives and exposes the ideologies that drive their propaganda machine. Situating Islamophobia within a long history of national and international phobias, this book challenges the narrative of fear that has for too long discussions about Muslims and Islam. Monsters among us : a history of sowing fear in -- A web of deception : fomenting hate online -- Media mayhem : broadcasting anti-Muslim -- We come bearing crosses : the Christian Right's battle for eternity -- Of politics and prophecy : the alliance of the Israel right -- To Washington and beyond : Islamophobia as government policy -- Across the pond : the deadly effects of hate in Europe
