Clash of Ignorance: Islamophobia
OCT 2023
My name is Ameera Essabar and I have had the pleasure and the privilege to work on this piece for the past four years, and I am so excited for it to finally be out in the world!
I began “Clash of Ignorance: Islamophobia” in Grade 12, with the sole intention of completing a research paper for my English Literature course.
Now in my final year of undergraduate studies, I look back to my seventeen-year-old self, knowing that four years ago I could never have imagined what this piece has become. Throughout these past few years, I have been intensely editing the piece with the goal of creating something impactful for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

I am so honoured to have my work published by the Mosaic Institute, as it is a superb organization whose mission and vision align in every way with my story. This is an extremely personal piece, but it is not only personal to myself. It sheds light on the experiences of Muslims worldwide, and I hope, provides optimism for the creation of an inclusive and compassionate world for all.
