From the syllabus: The purpose of this syllabus is to examine how religion becomes treated like a race, with the focus of this ‘racialization’ being Islam in the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. The reason these countries were chosen was because of the recent increase in anti-immigrant, anti-Islam emotions in them, in addition to the recent terror attacks that occurred in France in 2015 and 2016. As these feelings only increase with the Syrian civil war and resulting refugee crisis and with the threat of ISIS ever present, it is important to notice and think about people’s thoughts about and reactions to Muslims around them."
