In other words Islamophobia is prejudice against Muslims and Islam in general. Islamophobia is characterised by the beliefs that Muslims are religious 'fanatics' and have violent/dangerous tendencies towards non-Muslims.
Ever since the 8th Century, the fear and discrimination of Muslims existed to some degree. For example, the September 11th terrorism attack has lead to an increase of Islamophobial in the Western world; therefore Islam is often associated with terrorism.
In the UK and the rest of the western world, Islamophobia is a problem; especially in the media.
