#1 The thing that keeps the Islamophobia panic alive is not actual violence against Moslems but the right-on politicos ill-founded yet deeply held view of ordinary Europeans, especially those of a working-class variety, as racist and stupid.

No different than the enlightened politicos here in the States.

#2 'Islamophobia' is a propaganda term that clumsily tries to associate the normalcy of a free and open society with a disease process.

Every world view, philosophy, system of ideas or religion will encounter opposition on the free marketplace of ideas. The freedom to praise and propagate e.g. Islam is identical to the freedom to encourage people to leave and swear off Islam.

Nothing (except the very preservation of freedom) is sacrosanct! Everything can be challenged legitimately!

Those who are using the term 'Islamophobia' for any other purpose that to criticize it are genuine enemies of Western Civilization!
They are genuinely evil! Always!

#3 It's not a phobia when there is a basis of fact. When a bad batch of contaminated food poisons a few people, they recall the entire load, don't they?

#5 I've read that there was a lot of Nipponophobia after Pearl Harbor.
