Anti-Muslim sentiment refers to negative attitudes, beliefs, and actions directed towards individuals or groups who identify as Muslims. This sentiment can manifest in various forms, including discrimination, prejudice, and violence, often fueled by stereotypes and misinformation about the Islamic faith and its followers. This phenomenon can be influenced by political events, media portrayals, and social dynamics, leading to increased hostility in some communities. Anti-Muslim sentiment can result in social isolation for Muslim individuals, as well as broader societal issues such as hate crimes and legislative discrimination, impacting the overall cohesion of diverse societies.
