The word islamophobia (In Swedish: islamofobi) is sometimes synonymous with antimuslimism, which is categorism against people who are self-identified as Muslims or assumed by others to be Muslims.
However, the word islamophobia is also sometimes given very different meanings - one which actually oppresses human beings who are muslims. This other meaning is full of Entitled Supremacism, where abusers consider themselves to have a "divine right" to abuse their fellow muslims as well as other people, and consider any pushback against their abuse to be "oppression". They employ a discourse where rights are assigned to a conceptualization of a religion in itself, rather that to the human beings who are categorized as being religious: A matter of protecting a perceived “true Islam” from apostates, heretics, blasphemers and unbelievers, rather than protecting human beings who happens to be categorized as Muslims.
