This paper contributes to the debate on the meaning of the term "Islamophobia". It proposes an examination of the early twentieth century approaches to Islamophobia, both the term and the phenomenon. The aim is to show that the phenomenon had already been identified at the end of the nineteenth century and that it had been defined by the beginning of the twentieth. That definition could throw some light on the current debate about the meaning of the term.
