Abstract
The incident of 9/11 significantly affected the west-east relations into obvious binary opposites of us and them. This situation has given rise to a new discourse called Islamophobia-causing Islam to be viewed as a source of intolerance and terrorism, one whose proponents are out to destroy Western values. The present study is aimed to trace out the impact of western Islamophobia in response to the incident of 9/11 on Islam and Muslims in Waldman’s novel, The Submission. For the analysis of data, theoretical insights have been taken from Allen (2016). The textual analysis showed that the incident of 9/11 affected the collective unconsciousness of the Americans. They took this incident as a wound never to be recovered thus leading the American nation into the state of Islamophobia. The findings also indicate that the Muslims not only got a disadvantageous position in America as Muslim minorities-leading to the rise of Islamophobia- but suffered the processes of alienation and violence against them. America also lost her sense of civil rights against Muslims. Waldman in spite of being an American writer challenges the American stance against Muslims and asserts the re-examination of the American sense of community cohesion and integration policies for Muslims.
