Abstract

Background: To contribute to research on the transnational far right, Islamophobia, and social media platforms, this article interrogates the far right’s practice of using Twitter to produce and circulate a #removekebab hashtag. Analysis: The accounts behind the words and images of 100 #removekebab tweets are analyzed to show how they communicate the transnational far right’s hateful Islamophobic discourse. Conclusion and implications: The far right’s #removekebab tweets dehumanize Muslims, tacitly call for genocide against Muslims, and rationalize this violence by stereotyping Muslims as a collective threat to the West. Contexte : Afin de contribuer à la recherche sur l’extrême droite transnationale, l’islamophobie et les plateformes de médias sociaux, l’auteur interroge la pratique de l’extrême droite consistant à utiliser Twitter pour produire et faire circuler le hashtag removekebab. Analyse : L’auteur analyse les comptes, les mots et les images de 100 tweets #removekebab et montre comment ils communiquent le discours islamophobe haineux de l’extrême droite transnationale. Conclusion et implications : L’auteur constate que les tweets #removekebab de l’extrême droite déshumanisent les musulmans, appellent tacitement au génocide des musulmans et rationalisent cette violence en stéréotypant les musulmans comme une menace collective pour l’Occident.
推特#Removekebab:对极右翼在推特上的伊斯兰恐惧症仇恨标签的批判性研究
背景:为了帮助研究跨国极右翼、伊斯兰恐惧症和社交媒体平台,本文质疑了极右翼使用Twitter制作和传播标签的做法。分析:分析了100条RemoveKebab推文的文字和图像背后的账户,以显示它们如何传播跨国极右翼仇恨的伊斯兰恐惧症话语。结论和影响:极右翼的#RemoveKebab推特去人性化穆斯林,默示呼吁对穆斯林进行种族灭绝,并通过将穆斯林定性为对西方的集体威胁来合理化这种暴力。作者质疑极右翼使用Twitter制作和传播RemoveKebab标签的做法。分析:作者分析了100条RemoveKebab推文的账户、文字和图像,并展示了它们如何传达跨国极右翼的仇视伊斯兰教仇恨言论。结论和影响:作者指出,极右翼的RemoveKebab推文使穆斯林失去人性,默许对穆斯林进行种族灭绝,并通过将穆斯林刻板印象为对西方的集体威胁,使暴力合理化。
