Abstract

A powerful discourse after September 11, 2001 attacks i.e., the War on Terror was constructed by the Western propaganda machines that dominated the social and political arena of the world now for more than two decades. War on Terror was not just a conflict between the Western Powers and the Terrorists, but it was a powerful discourse of hatred and discrimination against Muslims which disturbed the core of society through immense Islamophobia. Americas tendency toward conflict resolution directly linked with War on Terror is increasing rapidly and was very desperate to get rid of the Afghan war in one way or another. Does any settlement like Doha Accord mean an end to the Afghan War and subsequently an end to War on Terror? If so, then what will be the future of Islamophobia when there is no War on Terror discourse in society? There is a gap that needs to be filled between conflict resolutions i.e. the tendency to end the War on Terror and discourse maintenance i.e. dealing with Islamophobia which was part of the global War on Terror. The pricking idea is regarding the future of islamophobia. Through qualitative data analysis, the present article attempts to ascertain the future of Islamophobia and its deep-rooted relationship with the war against terrorism discourse. The present study suggests that leadership and mainstream scholarship in the Islamic world need to take unprecedented measures against Islamophobia.
