Public appearances

Hafez publishes regularly in Austrian and international news media like The Guardian [23] Haaretz, [24] Middle East Eye, [25] Al-Jazeera English, [26] Der Standard and Die Presse. He is a frequent interview partner for international media, among them BBC, [27] The Washington Post [28] and Democracy Now [29]

Main positions

Hafez identifies with what he calls the "racism studies-informed postcolonial approach" in studying Islamophobia. [30]

"Many of the measures taken to regulate Islam-state relations reveal an approach that on one side attempts to give Islam a place in their society, while on the other side clearly refers to a stereotypical imagination of the Muslim, where the notion of Europe stands for enlightenment, modernity and progressiveness, while Islam and Muslims represent the opposite. Hence, we can observe a notion of ‘civilizing’ Islam that goes back to colonial times and introduces a division between the good and the bad Muslim; the former who submits to the state and its rules, versus the latter, who remains the uncivilized, barbaric, alien Muslim, prone to extremisms and fanaticism and incapable of fitting into modernity. The Islam dispositives revealed here show that the states legitimize their interference based on this implicitly reproduced imagination of the bad Muslims, and thus endeavor to ‘civilize’ Muslims subjects, reminding us again of the “white man's burden.”" [30]

Hafez's most quoted article is 'Shifting borders: Islamophobia as common ground for building pan-European right-wing unity,' which appeared in the peer-reviewed journal Patterns of Prejudice. In this article, Hafez argues that "Islamophobia has become a useful tool for right-wing parties to mobilize electors in many European nation-states" and that concomitantly there happened a shift by formerly antisemitic far-right parties "to gain wider acceptance in mainstream societies by distancing themselves from a former antisemitic profile." [31]

Hafez's concept of 'Islamophobic Populism' has gained some attraction in the research of contemporary far-right political parties in Europe. [32] He developed the concept of 'Islamophobic Populism' by synthesizing the concepts of populism, Islamophobia with the help of critical discourse analysis. [33]

European Islamophobia Report

The flagship publication, co-edited by Hafez and authored by a collective of more than 40 authors. [34] from across Europe is the annual European Islamophobia Report. [9] Authors include Prof. of English literature Olivier Esteves from France, sociologist James Carr from Ireland, political scientist Ineke van der Valk from the Netherlands, anthropologist Sindre Bangstad and Holocaust-studies Professor Cora Alexa Døvingfrom Norway, Polish social scientist Konrad Pędziwiatr, [35] historian Hikmet Karčić from Bosnia, sociologist Aleksandra Lewicki from Germany, [36] Italian sociologist Alfredo Alietti, social scientist Ana Frank from Ljubljana, religious studies Professor Mattias Gardell from Sweden, and historian Aristotle Kallis from Greece. [37]

Since 2021, the report is published by Leopold Weiss Institute together with several US American institutions such as UC Berkeley's Othering & Belonging Institute headed by John A. Powell, Rutgers University's Center for Security, Race and Rights. [38]

Its 2015 edition was presented by MEP Josef Weidenholzer and MEP Afzal Khan, who belong both to the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. [39] The 2017 edition was presented by Wajid Khan. [40] Its 2018 edition was presented by the British member of the European Parliament for the British Green Party, the Rt. Honorable Magid Magid. [41] In 2023, the social democratic MEP Joao Albuquerque (Portugal) supported the discussion of the report by the Brussels-based European Network on Religion & Belief (ENORB). [42] The report has been presented at different venues and international organizations such as the OSCE, [43] and the Council of Europe. [44]

12 signatories from the academia and civil society, who were all criticized in the report, [45] wrote a public letter of protest to EU-Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, calling on her not to co-finance anymore the report. [46] Signatories included Saïda Keller-Messahli [47] Ahmad Mansour [48] or Seyran Ateş. [49] The signatories received an answer from Commissioner Johannes Hahn, who argued that "transparency and equal treatment were respected in the selection process". [50]

Operation Luxor

On 9 November 2020, the Austrian police raid called Operation Luxor [51] was directed against people who were alleged terrorists. Der Standard editor Hans Rauscher called the operation a "gigantic flop", [52] and Die Presse editor Anna Thalhammer saw the investigation "crumbling" almost two years later following a decision by the Appellate Court that called the raid "unlawful." [53] Hafez was among those who were suspected and his home was raided, [54] but was acquitted from all charges in January 2023. [55] In April of 2024, Hafez sued [56] the deradicalization expert Lorenzo Vidino for his involvement with the private detective firm Alp Services in a European-wide large-scale smearing campaign that The New Yorker had revealed.

The Regional Court (that had allowed the initial unlawful raid) issued a decision that upheld the investigation against Prof. Hafez, citing his academic work. According to the Regional Court (Landesgericht Graz), Hafez's “activities in the preparation of the so-called Islamophobia Report and his activity with the Bridge Initiative at Georgetown University is intended to disseminate the fighting term “Islamophobia” with the goal of preventing any critical engagement with Islam as a religion [...] in order to establish an Islamic state [...]." [57] According to Georgetown University, "this statement and the court’s decision are proof that the case against Prof. Farid Hafez is a dangerous sign of an attempt to silence the free speech and academic freedom of a prominent scholar." [57] Media scholar Prof. Fritz Hausjell called this an "encroachment on academic freedom and freedom of speech." [58]

In an "International Statement Opposing Use of Counter-Terrorism Powers to Target Islamophobia Expert," which was signed by more than 350 scholars, primarily from the United States of America, including Charles Taylor, Talal Asad and Peter Rose. [59] The letter argued that this raid was "part of the international rise of authoritarian governmental suppression of Muslim civil society and critical scholarship in Western democracies". They called upon the State Prosecutor "to close the case, and cease its intimidation of Dr Farid Hafez and others who have been wrongly attacked." [60]

After more than two years, the appellate court decided that the allegations and suspicions were unsubstantial. [61] Farid Hafez published two books on Operation Luxor in German, one being an academic anthology that he edited [62] and the other one a memoir-inspired story that contextualized the Operation Luxor in Austria's general atmosphere of Islamophobia. [63]

Shortly after Operation Luxor, Hafez complained about the police search and compared it to the 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom. [64] This comparison was criticized by Minister of the Interior (Austria) Karl Nehammer and Minister of Integration (Austria) Susanne Raab. The former called the comparison with Kristallnacht and the police search against activists of political Islam "tasteless", "scandalous" and "an expression of an anti-democratic position". [65]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Islamophobia in Italy</span> Prejudice towards Islam or Muslims in Italy

Islamophobia is characterized by a hatred against the religion of Islam and those perceived to be following the religion, typically fueled by fear and hatred and sustained through the evolving stereotype of the Muslim identity. It has become increasingly common and widespread throughout the world, in particular since the September 11 attacks in the United States, however it existed in society before this. In Europe, there has been an increase in cultural tensions between national majorities and marginalized Muslim countries, as shown by the results of the 2009 elections in the European Parliament with a large vote toward anti-immigration. Within Italy, there is a large Islamic presence of approximately 1.25 million people, stemming from the widespread migration and settlement that began in the 1970s, in particular from North Africa. The Islamic population of Italy increasingly faces challenges when it comes to their position in society, with the increasing cultural hostility that stems from the growing presence of Islamophobia. Islamophobia has been present within Italy for many years; for example, in the 1920s, Muslims were not permitted to settle in the country due to their religion being viewed as "against common morality." The intensity of Islamophobia in Italy is enhanced by the historical religious structure of the state – which is heavily based on the Catholic Church.

Religious rights were restored following the end of Communism in Hungary, but the government under Viktor Orbán has been criticized for its restriction of religious freedoms.
