It is surprising that UK minister Michael Gove's rejection of any adoption of an antisemitism definition by the UK government isn't covered. This seems important https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/islamophobia-definition-conservative-government-michael-gove-b2213075.html 82.11.163.59 (talk) 09:52, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're probably referring to the UK Government's rejection of a definition for Islamophobia, not antisemitism. In any case, this page is about Islamophobia in a worldwide context, and it would incorrect to single out one country. It is mentioned on the Islamophobia in the United Kingdom page. Obscurasky (talk) 15:33, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should be a section on critics of the concept of islamophobia, particularly for the idea it applies to insults/hatred of Islam itself and not just Muslims. A mention of how ex-Muslims view the term, maybe even with some examples of the term being used against ex-Muslims who speak about why they left Islam?

Example by British leftist ex-Muslim Maryam Namazie https://maryamnamazie.com/defining-islamophobia/ 217.43.220.213 (talk) 17:59, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Considering wikipedia is from the west and in the west islam is a minoritarian religion, this article seems strangely long and detailed. It almost feels like propaganda: it repeats over and over the same concept. 80.117.16.87 (talk) 16:33, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What's the difference if it's minority or majority in the West? Propaganda in what sense? O3000, Ret. (talk) 16:38, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And in any case the IP's comments are useless without specifics based on guidelines and policies. Doug Weller talk 16:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with Doug. The most relevant policy seems to be Wikipedia:Article size, which roughly seems to point to 10,000 words as the maximum desirable length. This article is at 10,168, so I guess we're on the edge. IP - If you want to pursue this, I'd suggest pointing out what sections of the article should be moved or spun off.

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Islamophobia. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The phrase “the Islamophobia industry” was coined by Nathan Lean, not Nathan Lean and John Esposito as the article incorrectly indicates. The phrase was the subject and title of Lean’s 2012 book. Esposito wrote the Foreword but was not credited a co-author. 2603:6080:E911:1E00:BC49:B5F:D989:B145 (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
