This article introduces the special issue on ‘Islamophobia, Racialisation and the “Muslim Problem” in France’. Islamophobia is here understood as (anti-Muslim) racism, with structural and historical dimensions beyond those of individual acts of discrimination or prejudice, and whereby those perceived to be Muslim are systematically racialised as if they are ‘a race’ and as a ‘problem’ to be debated (primarily by the White non-Muslim majority). The issue brings together researchers from France and beyond, in French and in English, and from several disciplines, to demonstrate the diversity of international academic research on the topic as well as the relative consensus among specialist scholars on how to theorise and critique such phenomena.

这篇文章介绍了关于法国的“伊斯兰恐惧症、种族化和“穆斯林问题”的特刊。伊斯兰恐惧症在此被理解为（反穆斯林）种族主义，其结构和历史维度超出了个人的歧视或偏见行为，并且那些被视为穆斯林的人被系统地种族化，就好像他们是“一个种族”和一个“问题” ' 进行辩论（主要由白人非穆斯林多数）。该问题汇集了来自法国及其他地区的法语和英语以及来自多个学科的研究人员，以展示对该主题的国际学术研究的多样性以及专家学者之间关于如何理论化和批判此类现象的相对共识。
