Summary/Abstract: Islamophobia, is caused by prejudice and discrimination against Muslims and the religion of Islam. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, prejudice against Muslims increased. With the rise of far-right parties in the post-Cold War period, the phenomenon of racism came to the fore and began to take a form to exclude Muslims from society. Attendantly, racism and xenophobia played an important role on the way to anti-Islamism. We can speak of the phenomenon of Islamophobia, which is constantly increasing in Europe, as in other regions. Accordingly; the phenomenon of Islamophobia, the conditions of its formation, the problems of immigration and the problem of Islamophobia in this context will be discussed, and how these phenomena and processes affect the lives of Muslims will be examined.
