Zulkarnain Banday: A well-coordinated terrorist attack on two mosques in #NewZealand, that has left more than 49 dead and 30+ injured, is the manifestation of media-peddled rhetoric against Muslims that started with the so called ‘war on terror’. The media not only enabled the Islamophobia but introduced it in the mainstream discourse. The Islamophobia industry is not an abstract but a deliberate strategy in which billions of dollars are pumped in each year to enable hatred and vilification against Muslims and Islam.
