Zusammenfassung:After the 9/11 attacks, Muslim Americans have witnessed an unprecedented civil rights’ crisis. This crisis has been fueled by many anti-Muslim activists, organizations, politicians, media and financial institutions, all of them appeared or grew particularly during the Obama administration to form an Islamophobia network. The network’s mission was to keep anti-Muslim sentiment alive in the American society. Yet, how was Islamophobia network structured? And what were its strategies and objectives? In order to answer these questions, this article follows a combination of descriptive and analytical approaches. While the descriptive approach is useful in presenting facts about the Islamophobia network during the Obama presidency, the analytical approach is valuable for exploring the network’s strategies and investigating its objectives. The findings demonstrate that the Islamophobia network has succeeded to make hostility against Muslims an omnipresent theme in the American society.
