Combating Islamophobia Research Center
About the Center
The aim of the Combating Islamophobia Research Center (İDMAM), which was established under the Migration Research Foundation, is to examine the origins and different aspects of Islamophobia from the west to the east. In this context, İDMAM aims to develop a different perspective on Islamophobia, to map Islamophobia, to raise a voice against Islamophobia, and to offer policy makers suggestions and ideas for combating Islamophobia.
Although the period after the September 11 attacks in the United States of America has a large place in the widely used historical narrative about Islamophobia, actions and events against Islam and Muslims date back to much earlier than this process. From this point of view, the Combating Islamophobia Research Center (İDMAM), which was established under the Migration Research Foundation, aims to examine the origin and different aspects of Islamophobia from the west to the east. In this context, İDMAM aims to develop a different perspective on Islamophobia, to map Islamophobia, to raise a voice against Islamophobia, and to offer policy makers suggestions and ideas for combating Islamophobia. In addition, as a think tank, the Migration Research Foundation aims to raise awareness on this issue and to train experts who will work in this field and contribute to Muslim societies to live in more peaceful and tolerant circumstances.

FRANSA’DA CAMİ BASKINI VE İSLAMOFOBİNİN NORMALLEŞMESİ
Fransa’da 3 Ekim Cumartesi günü özel tim güçleriyle Hz. Ömer Camii’ne baskın düzenlenmiştir. Polis baskını esnasında içeride dini ders yapan çocuklar ve öğretmenler bulunduğundan baskın küçük yaştaki öğrenciler arasında paniğe sebep olmuştur. Özellikle terörle mücadele alanında faaliyet gösteren 15 kişilik “İslamcılığa ve Cemaatçi Ayrışmaya Karşı Mücadele Özel Birimi” adlı güvenlik güçlerinin baskınına ilişkin emniyet müdürlüğü yangın güvenliğinde eksiklik tespit ettikleri ifade etmiştir.2 Müslüman azınlığı korkutma ve yıldırma amacı taşıyan baskın İslamofobik saldırıların artık dayanılmaz boyutlara ulaşması nedeniyle endişe verici olarak karşılanmıştır. Yetkili makamların gerekçe olarak yangın güvenliğini göstermesi ise sosyal medyada “Paris Emniyet Müdürlüğü, caminin yangın söndürücülerini kontrol ederek İslamcılığa karşı mücadele veriyor” ifadeleriyle karşılık bulmuştur.
