Fundamentalisten setzen sich nicht mit allen an einen Tisch zur Debatte. Fundamentalisten verteidigen keine Schwulen und Schwarzen öffentlich auf einer Debatte.
What is Islamophobia? Dr. Omar Adam Sayfo defined this at the conference "Islamism in the West and Beyond," organized by the Frankfurt Research Center for Global Islam at Goethe University Frankfurt on August 22, 2025, as follows:"Since its emergence as a 20th-century neologism, the term “Islamophobia”—despite lacking a universally accepted definition—has gained widespread traction in both global academic debates and European public discourses. Beginning in the early 2000s, the transformation of migration-related discourses across Europe has prompted numerous national and international organizations to monitor incidents and trends associated with Islamophobia. The actors engaged in these monitoring initiatives are diverse: some are affiliated with left-leaning institutions, others are rooted in Islamist networks, while yet others are linked to international organizations or foreign governments—often in collaboration with academics. As such, the monitoring of Islamophobia has, in certain contexts, become a tool for projecting power and exercising soft power on behalf of states and other transnational actors." The foreign governments, mentioned in the talk, are located in Turkey and Iran, for example; transnational actors include the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to which all Islamic states belong. In 1990, the organization published the "Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam", which made all human rights subject to their compatibility with Sharia law. It was also the driving force behind the creation of an “International Day to Combat Islamophobia". Incidentally, the most important instrument for implementing this day, which is now also celebrated in Germany, was the UN, in which Islamist networks play a significant role.
