The assault has been more often in schools than in the society. In his article, Abdul (001) children in the U. S are the most affected group as their fellow schoolmates as they repeatedly refer them as terrorists. The victims of this act of Islamophobia mostly being members of Islamic religion have been reported to be seriously assaulted by the residents of the U.

Anti-Islamophobia was formed to ensure safety and survival of Muslims young ones who are most affected by discrimination. In every region, peace is a vital dimension that needs to be integrated consistently in pedagogical processes and principles. Peace aims at contributing critical understanding of the sources of violence, conflicts, and dissatisfaction. It cultivates and stimulates attitudes and values that encourage social action for developing more peaceful society Rotterdam (219).
It is due to these events that Muslims and other peace motivator groups supported the idea of anti-islamophobia. In this process, both barriers and motivations intermingle to enhance participation thus the higher the individuals are motivated the better the barriers are overpowered. On the other hand mobilization support refers to the ways in which people in the society are can be mobilized hence they must have the positive attitude towards a specific social movement which includes the goals and the means of the movement. According to Klandermans (12), means is referred to as the willingness to be involved I unusual political behaviors.

This data has to verify for validity, confidentiality, and relevancy. To understand the structure of social movement we will understand and reinforce the relationship between structural characteristics of social movements the goals of the movement, forms, and their action. Tufyal Choudhury (44) The level of attendance in elections of the Muslims has been low. This has been influenced by younger Islam people of their communities due to higher level of economic degradation and social relations because they grow and live in towns. Tufyal Choudhury (45) argues that raised levels of political intrusion and civic engagement has caused religious and ethical mobilization and therefore has been criticized. This has been said to have resulted to high turnouts for the support of non-ideological political candidates in both electoral and religious communalism instead of supporting community leaders who have the ability to retrieve concessions and accommodate Muslims.

They may find it necessary to change existing institutions routines or challenge them so that others may remain attached to it. Corbin, Juliet M. and Anselm Strauss.
