Cover Story: The Internet multiplies people’s possibilities for communication, but it also offers venues for some racist narratives. For example, after the British Referendum on EU membership (Brexit) in 2016, Twitter witnessed a surge of Islamophobia. But is Internet (and Twitter) Islamophobia different from other forms of racism? If yes, what are the differences? This article analyzes anti-Muslim tweets sent after Brexit through the Runnymede Trust’s definition of Islamophobia. The analysis suggests that online Islamophobia follows the same patterns of offline racism, but it is worsened by fake news, trolls, bots, and the possibility of creating global networks. Therefore, there is a need to spread digital media literacy and to consider Internet Islamophobia as serious as offline anti-Muslim attacks. View this paper
