Tackling prejudice, hatred, and discrimination is both laudable and necessary. In Britain and elsewhere, however, this noble cause has spawned a much less worthy corollary – the assumption that any criticism of Muslims or Islam should not be tolerated. The result has been an increase in false accusations of “Islamophobia” (“Islamofauxbia”), excessive fear of being denounced as an Islamophobe (“Islamophobia-phobia”), and censorship of lawful expression. In this trailblazing book, Steven Greer, a cancel culture survivor and eminent human rights scholar, surveys the current trend plus the history of the debate about the Islamic faith, the essentials of its mainstream interpretation, and the principal dissenting Muslim perspectives. Relevant legal and human rights frameworks, together with recent British proposals for how to address anti-Muslim prejudice/“Islamophobia,” are expertly examined. Islamophobia and Free Speech also suggests possible ways to remedy the chilling of lawful and legitimate debate in this controversial area.
