By nature, people are afraid of things they do not know, and hence a fertile environment is created to spread fear, hostility and false information about the other
Many Western media have exploited this fear because of the lack of information about Islam and Muslims, and have increasingly spread hostility against Arabs and Muslims.
The definition of Islamophobia: is prejudice, hatred and fear of Islam or Muslims.
The term came into use in English in 1997 when a leftist British think tank called Renameed Trust used it to condemn feelings of hatred, fear and prejudice directed against Islam or Muslims
Others saw it as a concomitant phenomenon of the growing number of Muslim immigrants in the United States and the European Union, and some linked them to the events of September 11.
The origin of the label: consists of the words of Islam and Phobia, and is intended to fear or irrational fear of something that exceeds the actual risk assumed.
Oxford Dictionary defines Islamophobia as "fear and hatred directed against Islam, as a political force specifically, prejudice and discrimination against Muslims."
Example of the Dutch media in planting fear of Muslims:
In the murders, the American media uses a lot of tricks when the killer is Muslim, then the American media begins to analyze that he is a murderer because he is a Muslim and that their religion incites them to violence and "jihad"
While a white man kills others, and he is not called a terrorist.
For example, the unfortunate incident "Chapel Hubble" when a white man killed three young Muslims in America, then the American media defended the white man because he was angry at the parking lot! They said he was suffering from mental illness! They did not call it terrorist.
The Western media has a bad image of Muslims in Western countries, so the image of a Muslim in the Western media is that very ugly man with the beard of repugnance, the white robe and the terrible cruel features holding a weapon in his hands.
And the Muslim woman is the terrifying woman who wears black "niqab" from head to toe,
