Islamophobia is a type of racism. Brown people who aren't even muslim (like Sikhs) often get caught up in it, precisely because the ignorance that fuels it is based in racism.

So we argue that “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”
