Abstract

Islamophobia is spreading rampantly in the world especially Western world, assuming different forms and dimensions. Hate crimes against Muslims and Islam have become order of the day. Kamila Shamsie’s magnum opus Home Fire (2017) depicts how a family with a Jihadi history is pushed to the wall both by stringent laws of the State and the social boycott faced by them. The paper discusses in detail the worst repercussions of Islamophobia, providing ample incidents of the indignities that Muslims face on daily basis in the post – 9/11 World. Home Fire can be viewed as a clarion call for the Islamophobic world leadership. World leaders have to abstain from making anti- immigration laws – which add fuel to the fire and make life difficult for expatriate population.
