Part I: What is Islamophobia? : an overview. More than fear : defining Islamophobia -- The not-so-recent history of Islamophobia in the United States -- Both sides : how Islamophobia spans the political spectrum and crosses the globe -- More than Muslims : how Islamophobia intersects with other forms of prejudice -- Under the surface : the Islamophobia we don't see -- We should know better : thinking differently and uprooting stereotypes -- Part II: Islamophobia and Christians, past and present. "In Vain Do They Worship Me" : Islamophobia among Christians today -- Saints and sinners : the roots of contemporary Islamophobia in the history of Muslim-Christian relations -- Part III: Crafting a Christian response to Islamophobia. "is No Fear in Love" : how our Christian tradition can guide us -- Living out "Love of Neighbor" : what Christians can do about Islamophobia.

This book argues that Christians, not Muslims, should be at the forefront of efforts to end Islamophobia. While focusing largely on American Islamophobia, the author also discusses the issue's international and historical roots and its connection to Christianity, before laying out a proposed Christian response to this insidious problem. Case studies and interviews are interwoven with multidisciplinary research to produce a compelling volume of interest to academics and lay audiences alike.
