It exists in any context and media including fictional works. This article discusses Islamophobia in an (English-translated) French novel entitled The Age of Reinvention written by Karine Tuil. The discussion focuses on how Islam and Muslims are represented in the novel and how the author uses some ironies to convey certain ideology.

Through the characters, narrations, and dialogues, the author also tends to have a sentiment on some issues related to Islam. ]]>
