There is no official legal or social definition for Islamophobia;[1] however, it can be defined as a "form of racial prejudice",[6] especially as a political force, and "manifests as a distorted simplification of Islam and the Muslim world".[7] Almost a quarter of the world's population identify as Muslim, making it an extremely prevalent religion. Furthermore, Islamophobia often overlaps with other forms of discrimination and religious bias, making it difficult to recognize.[3]
