Rising nationalism in Europe, xenophobia and islamophobia

Abstract

Literally, Islamophobia means to fear from Islam. It is used to describe the fear and hate for Muslims and Islam Religion. Islamophobia was first used in year 1991 and came to the agenda again in the eleventh of September. After the attack made to the World Trade Center in 11th of September, USA occupied Afghanistan, which housed the Al-Qaeda Terrorist Organization who took the attack upon itself. And with the occupation of Iran in 2003, the fuse to the migration wave to the European Continent has been lit. The Arab Spring movement started in the Middle East, and the internal disturbances in Syria that comes after, was the main reason for people to migrate.
