Anti-Muslim racism and the European security state, Liz Fekete. Race and Class Volume 46 no 1, 2004, pp.3-29. Across Europe the "war on terror" has led to new legislation, policing and counter-terrorist measures that cast Muslims as the new "enemy within". "Islam is seen as a threat to Europe, which is responding not only with draconian attacks on civil rights but also with moves to roll back multiculturalism and promote monocultural homogeneity through assimilation. Hence `integration measures` - like France's banning of the hijab - became an adjunct to anti-terrorist law. This is not just Islamaphobia but structured anti-Muslim racism.”

European Race Bulletin, no 50 (Winter 2005), pp.28. The latest issue of the bulletin highlights a feature by Liz Fekete on the killing of Theo van Gogh in the Netherlands.
