#1 A phobia is by definition an irrational fear, so there is no such thing as Islamophobia.

#5 Islam is a supremacist cult. When they are a minority, they work for religious equality; where they are a majority, they work to dominate other religious groups.

#6 #5 Islam is a supremacist cult. When they are a minority, they work for religious equality; where they are a majority, they work to dominate other religious groups.

I've always been a bit cautious about religious faiths and groups in general that require special headgear, robes, chants, bodily contortions, or communal drinking for the rank and file..... Just cautious mind you, nothing more.

#7 and in the 1930s warmongers like Winston Churchill were committing NaziPhobia.

#8 The international media continues to use the misguided actions of a small extremist minority as an excuse to malign the entire Muslim world, as well as the religion of Islam,

Whilst the ummah and ulema adamantly refuse to impose even a hint of opprobrium upon this "small extremist minority" for their incessant atrocities. Just as curious is this article's seeming refusal to address the overwhelming "racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance" that are endemic to nearly all Muslim majority countries. Curious, that.

#9 What's so "curious" about it? This is standard, off-the-shelf Leftist claptrap.

Muslims are the Left's latest "Officially Designated Poor Helpless Little Brown Victims Of White Imperialism", who by definition can do no wrong-- just like America's blacks who, even though huge numbers of them are raging bigots, are deemed exempt from any charges of "racism".

Just the usual crap from the Cult of the Poor Helpless Victim, is all. Nothing curious about it.

#10 Yup. Like this guy, a white racist who happily proclaims that the race he hates is ....

whites.

Until we clean this sort of crap up Islamicists will be welcomed right into our laws and schools.

#11 I would be delighted to discuss the matter with him at the first Catholic, Lutheran, Morman, Jewish, Hindu or Shinto place of worship in Mecca.

#12 When will someone accused of "islamophobia," sue for defamation?

#13 We live in a world where there is a nation like Pakistain. I find that alarming.

Word, Fred. The charade is over.

#14 The Swiss SVP/UDC has launched a referendum to ban construction of minarets in the Alpine country, home to 350,000 Muslims. A similar move is underway in Cologne, Germany.

When are the cathedral spires going up in Riyadh, Doudou?

#15 And let's not forget how 'culturally sensitive' the muzzies are by their respect and handling of St. Sophia in ~~Constantinople~~ Istanbul. Couldn't get the minarets up fast enough.

#16 Glenmore beat me to it. There is no such thing as Islamophobia. It's called 'Realityitis'.

#17 As you bounce your grandchildren on your knee, you can tell them that months before the total collapse of civilization, the people began to separate into two distinct groups, pro Islam, and anti Islam. The governments protested loudly, but they were the last to discover the reality of those times. Even with mass communications and the internet and 24 hour news networks, some senseless hope for a resolution blinded the ambitious and the elite. Then there was war.

#18 Wxjames, based on your scenario, since we're bouncing Grandchildren on our knees, I assume the outcome of that war was, We Won.

I hope you're a Prophet.

#19 Hey, well, fok me sideways like a rattlesnake and then ask me why I'm not surprised the Death Cult is the Pissing Putrid Sore on the Arse of the World everywhere it goes, and is despised in all sensible Quarters of the World.

Eloquent enough?

Well, I certainly found it educational! ;-)

Di you read it to the end, lotp? The writer finishes by announcing he hates pseudointellectual liberals, in the college newspaper of U. Mass, by one of the editorial staff. I think he was being highly sarcastic.

#22 "The United Nations investigator on racism on Friday condemned a rising trend of Islamophobia"
"United Nations" - not at all
"investigator" - (mossie) instigator
"racism" - mossie 'religion' is not a race
"islamophobia" - does not exist but yet is used as an insult against infidels.

In one single short line alone is found the gist of mossie nonsense.

#23 Nope, that went right past me TW. Thanks for sending me back to read it more slowly.
