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.
