Anouar Majid, Ph.D., associate provost for global initiatives and director of the SWAG��Ƶ Center for Global Humanities, was quoted in a March 3, 2011 column on the blog "" in reference to U.S. Rep. Peter King's hearings before House Homeland Security Committee examining the threat of radical Islam within the United States. Blogger Kris Coffield examines the history of Islamophobia by referencing and quoting from Majid's book We Are All Moors: Ending Centuries of Crusades against Muslims and Other Minorities, 2009.

Jacqueline O’Rourke in a March 11th article on ZNet titled "" referenced Majid's book Unveiling Traditions: Postcolonial Islam in a Polycentric World (2000): "Anouar Majid, for example, has noted that Islam has not been involved in the debate on postcoloniality because this debate is based on the secular premises of scholarship that have increased 'the remoteness of Islam' and as such has imposed limitations on theories of inclusion and prolonged the belief that global harmonies remain elusive not because of capitalist relations but because of culture conflicts.  He has argued the fact  'that postcolonial theory has been particularly inattentive to the question of Islam in the global economy, exposes its failure to incorporate different regimes of truth into a genuinely multicultural global vision.'”
