Zusammenfassung:The scholarship is growing to capture the diversified anti-Islamophobia responses by individuals or Muslim organisations. Limited attention, however, is directed at examining the extent to which Islamophobia discourses infiltrate and shape Muslim Community Organisations’ (MCOs) anti-Islamophobia responses. I deploy Stones’ Strong Structuration Theory SST to examine Australian MCOs’ perceptions and responses to capture the extent to which Islamophobia discourses infiltrate their anti-Islamophobia strategies. I examine MCOs’ interpretations of their religious and political positions within the broader context of Islamophobia discourses. My findings reveal that two ostensibly contrasting frames of meaning inform MCOs' responses: assertive and apologetic. I argue, however, that these frames of meanings are nuanced and fluid due to their emergence within the broader structure of Islamophobia discourses. I conclude, therefore, that MCOs anti-Islamophobia strategies and actions emerge within and because of Islamophobia as pragmatic conscious and unconscious reactions, however, with transforming ideals.
