Annotation

This paper explores expressions of Islamophobia (I) and Muslimophobia (M) and their link to racism in Swiss parliamentary debates on forbidding the building of minarets in Switzerland. I and M differ, but often appear together, and Muslimophobia can, yet doesn't always constitute a form of racism.
