Our impact
The research the world cites on Islamophobia
Since 2010 the Islamophobia Studies Center has built the evidence base that scholars, journalists, community organizations and government officials rely on to name, measure and counter anti-Muslim racism. We publish the only peer-reviewed journal devoted to Islamophobia, and our reports and data have been shared with members of Congress and entered into the congressional record.

The Islamophobia App
Most anti-Muslim incidents are never reported. Our reporting app lets anyone document an incident in minutes, follows the news on Islamophobia worldwide, and turns each report into anonymized data that researchers and policymakers can act on.
Learn about the app“Muslims must speak and never allow anyone to constitute the limits when the questions at hand are ones that are centered on fairness, compassion, dignity, justice, equality, and freedom.”
