Islamophobia

What Christians should know and do about anti-Muslim Discrimination

Author Jordan Denari Duffner

Muslims in the United States and beyond have faced Islamophobia in a range of forms. The author argues that Christians should be at the forefront of efforts to end the prejudice, discrimination and violence that Muslims face.

Writing for Christians of all denominations, Jordan Denari Duffner offers an introduction to Islamophobia, discusses the unfortunate ways that Christians have contributed to it, and offers practical steps for standing in solidarity with Muslims. She views Islamophobia as both a social justice and a religious freedom issue, and makes the case that Christian faith calls us to combat religious discrimination even when it is not directed toward our own faith community.

She weaves together insights from Catholic social teaching, examples from Protestant leaders, and expertise from Muslim scholars and activists, resulting in a compelling book that will be of interest to academic and lay audiences alike.
