Research into Islamophobia
Shortly after the events of 9/11 he was commissioned by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia to co-author its "Summary report on Islamophobia in the EU after 11 September 2001" with Jorgen S. Nielsen. Published in May 2002, the report concluded that "a greater receptivity towards anti-Muslim and other xenophobic ideas and sentiments has, and may well continue, to become more tolerated". At the same time, Allen apparently acknowledged that "there were very few serious [anti-Muslim] attacks" and that Islamophobia "manifested itself in quite basic and low-level ways." According to Allen, Islamophobia is not simply a post-9/11 phenomenon, but builds on a tradition of xenophobia and fear of Islam.
In 2012, he was asked to be on the board of "a cross-government working group to tackle anti-Muslim hatred".
