Salt Irkçılıktan İdeolojik Silaha: Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Fransa’da İslamofobik Söylemin Çerçevelendirilmesi
Anahtar Kelimeler:
İslamofobi- kesişimsellik- Müslüman kimliği- ırksal profil- medyaÖz
Bu makale, ırk ve İslamofobi arasındaki kesişimselliği açığa çıkarmayı
amaçlamaktadır. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Fransa, yalnızca Müslüman azınlıkları topluma dahil etme biçimleriyle değil, aynı zamanda Müslüman kimliğini tanımlama ve ırksallaştırma yöntemleriyle de farklılaştıkları için karşılaştırmalı örnekler olarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, son birkaç on yılda geniş bir akademik tartışma alanına dönüşen İslamofobi kavramı, Müslümanların tehditkâr bir “öteki” olarak sunulduğu kapsamlı bir eğilimi ortaya koymaktadır. Batı’nın, biyolojik temelli ırk sınıflandırmalarını terk ederek ırk sonrası bir döneme geçtiği iddialarına rağmen, kültürel ve dinsel gerekçelere dayalı yeni bir ırkçılık biçimi ortaya çıkmış ve Müslüman topluluklar, “İslami kültürlerinin” Batı uygarlığına zararlı olduğu gerekçesiyle hedef haline getirilmiştir. Ayrıca, İslam’ı yabancı bir inanç olarak tanımlayan ve Müslümanları potansiyel tehdit olarak kurgulayan Oryantalist retoriğin ötesinde, İslamofobi, ana akım medya tarafından meşrulaştırılan bir tür gizli ırkçılık ya da ırksız ırkçılık haline gelmiştir.
