11 Eylül 2001 terör saldırıları, batı dünyasında ırkçılık, yabancı
düşmanlığı ve İslamofobi gibi köklü sorunların yükselişini hızlandıran çarpıcı
bir dönüm noktası olmuştur. 11 Eylül sonrası dönemde yaygınlaşan düşmanca
söylem ve tutumlar, Avrupa toplumlarında nefret tohumlarının filizlenmesi için
uygun bir ortam meydana getirmiştir. Bu süreç, sadece Avrupa'da İslam karşıtı
duyguları besleyen önemli bir faktör değil, aynı zamanda Avrupa'nın iç barış ve
geleceği için bir tehdit unsuru haline gelmiştir. Bu makale, üç farklı Avrupa
ülkesinde bu sürecin örneklerini analiz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Almanya ve
Fransa Avrupa Birliği'nin en büyük ve en önemli üyeleri olarak seçilmiştir.
İsviçre ise Orta Avrupa'da dünyanın en gelişmiş ülkelerinden biri olduğu için
özel bir örnek olarak seçilmiştir. Bu trendin kıtanın her köşesindeki, hatta
parlayan örnekler olması gereken yerlerinde bile görülen, geniş kapsamlı
etkilerini vurgulamak için bir örnek olarak kullanılmıştır.
