Abstract :
One of the main discourses in the contemporary world is the issue of Islamophobia, which intensified from the second half of the 20th century with the occurrence of Islamic freedom-seeking movements and, most importantly, the Islamic Revolution of Iran. In the meantime, the thought of evangelicalism considers the Shiites as a major threat from the side of Islamic civilization for its religious beliefs and teachings, and with the extensive guidance of the media, it has tried to shape the public opinion of the world against theShiites.With this explanation, perhaps the most important reason for choosing this subject for research is the rational principle of the necessity of knowing the enemy.The purpose of explaining the discourse ofEvangelical thought is to promote Islamophobia in order to support theZionist regime.The hypothesis states that the idea of evangelicalism is a cultural, political and discourse flow that, relying onTalmudic teachings and apocalyptic conflict, intends to destroy the most important enemy of Israel(Muslims)by promoting Islamophobia in the world and cause the continuation of this regime.be made Now the question is, what is the purpose of this idea of promoting and propagating the issue of Islamophobia?The theoretical framework, inspired by the discourse analysis theory ofLacla andMouffe, tries to prove the hypothesis.Therefore, by using the descriptive and explanatory method, he explained the desired indicators and the results showed that the reason for this can be largely found in the literal interpretations of theBible, according to which Islamist forces are always a potential threat toThey are considered theZionist regime
