$1.5B ‘Islamophobia industry’ foments fear, moral panic in Canada
A recent study revealed that north American networks that influence and fund Islamophobia “has become a transnational sector” as the “industry,” with access to over $1.5 billion in funding, foment Islamophobic fear and moral panic in Canada.
Jasmin Zine, a Canada-based professor of Sociology, Religion and Culture, and the Muslim Studies Option at Wilfrid Laurier University mapped these political, ideological, institutional, and economic networks in a four-year study.
In a 127-page report published recently, Zine and her team concluded that at least 39 U.S.-based organizations coordinate the market. A 2016 study concluded that this network was financed by 1,096 charitable institutions between 2014 and 2016 through donor-advised funds (DAF), giving them access to over $1.5 billion.
Boy I sure wish I could get my hands on some of that cash! But it looks like this broad and Laith Marouf got my share!
