'Why Should We Have to Prove We're Alright?': Counter-terrorism, Risk and Partial Securities
Gabe Mythen, Sandra Walklate and Fatima Khan, January 2013
Summary
The bulk of sociological research undertaken since 9/11 suggests that Muslim minority groups have been subjected to a decade of hostility which has manifested itself in diffuse ways, from a rise in Islamophobic attitudes (Allen, 2010; Meer et al., 2010; Poynting and Mason, 2007) to media stereotyping (Moore et al., 2008; Whitaker, 2002), racially motivated violence (Allen and Nielsen, 2002; Frost, 2008) and indiscriminate counter-terrorism policing (Lambert, 2008; Mythen, 2011).
