Islamophobia in Europe; A case Study of Fitna Film

Islamophobia is a designed project planned by western governments to be used against the increasing tendency towards Islam in the west. This project is done by accusing Islam of terrorism and introducing Islam as a serious threat to the west and other religions. After the 9/ 11 events this project has been followed by two other components namely shiaphobia and Iranophobia. This articl briefly evaluates the different stages of Islamophobia in the west and looks at the positions and actions of western governments and authorities in this regard. It will then focus on TV programs of two German TV channels namely ZDF and ARD and finally will have a critical and analytical look at the Fitna film.
