The research was designed with a quantitative approach to describe the perception of Islamophobia in Muslims and to explain the effect of the media on Islamophobia. In the research, it was revealed that the perceptions of Islamophobia of 435 university students were formed by the fear of non-Muslims towards Islam and Islam, the fear of Islamization and the media. It was determined that the participants' level of perception of Islamophobia showed different results according to their socio-demographic characteristics. Among the other results obtained in the research, media organizations have effects on Islamophobia in terms of the reality and accuracy of the news, the transparency of information transfer of the national and international press, control mechanisms, freedom of thought and religion, and racism. It was determined that more than half of the participants were exposed to Islamophobic incidents in traditional and new media. At the end of the research, it is suggested that further studies should be conducted on the concept of Islamophobia in Muslim samples and how the effects of the media can be eliminated. Finally, it is recommended to increase the weight of the locus of control in order to use the media in accordance with global value judgments.
