Summary/Abstract: Recently, the most important reasons for the influence the Islamophobia has arisen from the radicalization of Islam and Islam to be caricaturized as if it supports the oppression of women. This situation resulting from misunderstanding and transmission of Islam, is similar to the internalization of feminism based upon prejudice. A Muslim woman who live in the West does not only struggle with incorrect religious doctrines, but also sociological prejudgments. This article rejects the anti-misogyny that has been identified with Islam which resulted from ignorance and prejudice about Islam and the perception of gendered Islamophobia in the West in order to reveal the effects of Islamophobia on women and to find solutions.
