Digital hatred

Misinformation and fabricated stories aimed at Muslims spread quickly online, leading to an increase in Islamophobia. These false narratives frequently depict Muslims as a danger, which intensifies prejudice and discrimination.

Social media algorithms enhance the reach of these damaging messages, allowing them to touch larger audiences and strengthen existing biases. Addressing this issue calls for critical thinking, media literacy, and joint efforts to disprove misinformation and foster understanding.
