In addition to describing individual incidents, the article focuses on political changes related to Islamophobia as well as to individual areas in which it occurs.

In addition to the similarity of phenomena in all countries, above all, the finding of an increase in Islamophobia with a small number of Muslims, the populist use of Islamophobia for political purposes, and attacks on civil society organizations in these countries, the article highlights the specific characteristics of relations with Muslims in each country.
