Drawing on cultural sociology, social network theory, and social psychology, he shows how anti-Muslim organizations gained visibility in the public sphere, commandeered a sense of legitimacy, and redefined the contours of contemporary debate, shifting it ever outward toward the fringe. Bail illustrates his pioneering theoretical argument through a big-data analysis of more than one hundred organizations struggling to shape public discourse about Islam, tracing their impact on hundreds of thousands of newspaper articles, television transcripts, legislative debates, and social media messages produced since the September 11 attacks. The book also features in-depth interviews with the leaders of these organizations, providing a rare look at how anti-Muslim organizations entered the American mainstream." -- Publisher's description. 0aIslamxPublic opinion.9179670 0aIslamophobia.9183711 0aCorporationsxReligious aspects.9183712 0aIslam. 7aSOCIAL SCIENCExSociologyxGeneral.9183713 7aIslam. 7aCorporationsxReligious aspects.9183712 7aIslamxPublic opinion.9179670 7aIslamophobia.9183711 7aIslamophobie.9183714 7aUSA.9183715  a = C.1 SDU  cGBE2lcc  c101425d101425  00102lcc406BP0052 B153 T2015708CGB9284685aSDUbSDUcGEN3d2025-10-16e2l0oBP52 B153 T 2015p1000362433r2025-10-16 00:00:00tC.1w2025-10-16yGBE
