Abstract

This article, a theoretical-reflective study, aims to discuss the place occupied by the theme of religion in decolonial thought and, subsequently, based on the research developed by the author, point out how the coloniality of being, knowledge and power acts on Islam and Muslims in specific. This agenda stands out how psychology, the author's area of study, is still
reluctant to enter religious studies and continues to reproduce colonialism in its theories, methods and practices. The study highlight the perverse ways in which genocide, epistemicide and spiritualicide are related, and culminate in Islamophobia, which is another violent expression of modernity/coloniality experienced by Muslims around the world.
