(THE COLLEGE FIX) – A Brooklyn College professor believes that white Muslims have been “affected” by the “crisis of whiteness” based on the results of a new survey showing a significant percentage of U.S. Muslims harbor “negative stereotypes” … about themselves.
Moustafa Bayoumi told the Religion News Service that results of the “Islamophobia Index” report can be viewed through the lens of the U.S. “being driven by conservative politics centered on whiteness.” He added it would be “naive” to believe Muslims “would not be susceptible to that same ideology.”
According to the survey from the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, despite anti-Muslim attitudes decreasing among members of other religions, they’ve risen among Muslims themselves. American Muslims scored a 26 out of 100 on the index while Jews, Protestants and the “religiously unaffiliated” scored 17, 23 and 22 respectively. Only white Catholics and white evangelicals scored higher (28, 30).
