In a post-9/11 climate, Islamophobia has increased significantly in the UK and elsewhere in the West. ISIS-inspired terrorist attacks in the UK as well as in France, Belgium, Germany and, more recently, in Sri Lanka have triggered an increase in verbal and physical attacks on Muslims. Drawing on intersectionality (as a nexus of identities that work together to render certain individuals as ‘ideal’ targets to attack), veiled Muslim women are likely to experience gendered Islamophobia in the cyber world but also in ‘real’ life due to the intersections between their ‘visible’ Muslim identity and gender performance. In the British context, although Islamophobia is recorded as a hate crime nationally, and misogyny as a hate crime locally in some police forces, veiled Muslim women are unlikely to report their experiences to the police. Drawing on qualitative interviews with Muslim women who wear the niqab (face veil), the purpose of this article is to examine the ways in which they respond to experiences of gendered Islamophobia as well as their reasons for not reporting their experiences to the police.

蒙面的穆斯林妇女对英国性别伊斯兰恐惧症的反应

在 9/11 之后的气候中,伊斯兰恐惧症在英国和西方其他地方显着增加。在英国以及法国、比利时、德国以及最近在斯里兰卡发生的受 ISIS 启发的恐怖袭击导致对穆斯林的口头和身体攻击有所增加。利用交叉性(作为身份的纽带,共同使某些个人成为攻击的“理想”目标),蒙面的穆斯林妇女可能会在网络世界中经历性别化的伊斯兰恐惧症,而且在“现实”生活中,由于两者之间的交集他们“可见”的穆斯林身份和性别表现。在英国,尽管伊斯兰恐惧症在全国被记录为仇恨犯罪,而厌女症在当地一些警察部队被记录为仇恨犯罪,但蒙面的穆斯林妇女不太可能向警方报告她们的经历。
