Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are analogous products of right-wing exclusion. [definitional]

Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are both unique and similar. A yin and a yang. They are analogous in that they are both projects of majority exclusion, religious stigmatization, and racialized scrutiny by right-wing ultranationalist politicians, organized neo-Nazi hate groups, and conservative media outlets.

XREF: Connects to broader literature on the convergence of far-right hostility toward multiple minority groups under a single exclusionary nationalism.

XREF: Parallels scholarship framing both as projects of majority exclusion; could connect to critical race theory and postcolonial studies on how majorities otherize marginalized groups.
