Since 9/11, the Global War on Terror has revitalised a long-standing, global racial, and colonial ideology that positions Muslimness as a threat to civility, rationality, and progress. The Global War on Terror has remade educational systems throughout the world by asking institutions and educators to prevent extremism and terrorism. The adoption of a global ‘countering violent extremism’ (CVE) agenda has been one of the principle mechanisms by which Muslim people, and people mistaken as Muslim, are racialised as a threat to be surveilled, managed, and even eliminated within modern nation-states across the world. As a result, education has become a site through which racialized knowledge and emotions about Muslimness is produced and circulated, which in turn re-inscribes the putative racial threat the Muslim populations are thought to pose to modernity. In this chapter, we illustrate the power of a global critical race theory of education to explain and contest the circulation of anti-Muslim racism in educational contexts throughout the world.
