History of Islamophobia in Canada

Abstract

    Canada is generally considered the most liberal andleast racist country in the Western hemisphere at least according tothe popular discourse. The ground reality is slightly more complex.According to the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives, more Muslims have been killed in hate crimes in Canada in the last five years than in any other G-7 country. The anti-terror legislation after 9/11 further caused systematic islamophobia. This research paperstudies the historical evolution of Islamophobia and anti-Muslimdiscourse in Canada. The objective is to understand the literary andmedia sources of the growing anti-Muslim hate crimes
