ABSTRACT
This is just one of the football chants directed at the Egyptian footballer, Mido, by fans in football stadia across Britain and mainland Europe, highlighting that ‘Islamophobic racism’ is an emergent form of discrimination that needs to be addressed. Accordingly, this chapter explores the notion, and extent, of Islamophobic racism-a form of discrimination defi ned not purely by race or ethnicity, but also by religion (Allen and Nielsen 2002, Allen 2010)—and, in particular, outlines how it has come to infl uence the footballing experiences and perceptions of British Muslim women.
