What’s the Definition of Islamophobia?

1. Phobia is irrational fear. Islam is a religion that tells its adherents to spread it by conquest and to kill or enslave all who won’t convert, to make everyone fear its god and his followers. What’s irrational about fearing that ?

   I shall be unsurprised if in my lifetime I am presented with the choice “Comply or die.” Someone presenting it may be surprised when I find a third option.

   1. There is nothing irrational about opposition radical Islam. I mean do you support stoning women to death for being raped, or are you Islamophobic?

      1. Are you NOT phobic of a Religion which seeks global domination, supremacy, and seeks to literally wipe every other Religion from the face of the earth? Including the toppling (or burning) of their churches, and chiseling the faces off statues? Including school holidays for Ramadan but no longer Easter, or Rosh Hashana ? Including teaching our school children the wonderful 7-pillars of Islam, but the horrors of the Christian Crusades?

         NOT phobic as in trembling in fear, but phobic as in revulsion. Revolted and disgusted by the government endorsement of Islam in our public schools in a de-facto combination of Islamic Church and State

      2. Ex. … I found an Arsenal Bar in Phoenix … a Gooners Bar to watch Monday’s Arsenal -v- Man United EPL match on Monday. A couple of black men walked in with their two young school age boys … at noon … on a Monday … into a bar. Their kids were being little hellions, screwing with the pool table and throwing cue balls around the room. Someone finally asked why the kids weren’t in school. Answer: Ramadan Holiday. The Phoenix schools were OUT on Monday for Ramadan. I said … isn’t today Rosh Hashana? The black men threw angry looks my way.

         1. I have a similar story.

            Towards the end of my time as a post-secondary educator, I taught a service course to another department. The long-time head had retired and the position was split into two jobs, each filled by a former subordinate. Unfortunately, both of them were ill-suited for that and turned out to be spineless milquetoasts. I’ll get back to that detail later on.

            I set and ran the mid-term exam and some of the students were absent. Of course, they got zero for not showing up.

            It didn’t take long for the proverbial hit the fan. It turned out that some of those students were Mohammedans and wiggled their way out of their situation by claiming that the exam was held on one of their religious holidays. (The ringleader was crazy enough to fly an airplane into a tall building.)

            I was tempted to call BS on that but I bit my tongue. For one thing, the incident occurred around the time of that day of infamy. Second, I announced the exam two weeks in advance, even writing it on the board. Nobody said anything about there being a conflict, so this “holiday” was a new one on me.

            The department head who was in charge of that course immediately folded like a cheap suit and then mumbled something about the staff having to be made aware of such observances in the future. He didn’t have the backbone to stand up to them and hold them responsible for their own actions, or lack thereof, nor did he have the strength of character to back me on the matter. The result was that he let them off the hook.

            On that day, I lost nearly all respect for him.

   2. Tooner, you stated a truth that I stated over a decade ago. There is nothing irrational about having a fear of those who vow to kill you because their prophet has said so in their “holy book”. You are correct. Now if only more people could see the truth.

2. Actually I have a definition.

   Islamafobia is a fear of criticizing islam

3. Islamophobia – is defined as pandering and giving way to a pedophilic death cult for fear of being beheaded, raped, tortured, and killed by either a machete, bomb, vehicle, or orchestrated air disaster – for the crime of not submitting ones personal being and family to the slavish submission of said cult.

4. Nobody accuses Muslims and Leftists of Christianophobia or white-maleophobia, and yet they scream and rant about it all day every day.

5. Islamaphobia is a fear of being fined for speaking the truth about a death-cult of mindless maniacs who believe that its a women’s fault she got raped and who love death more than non-believers love their children.

6. Are we going down the path of witch trials. The British are locking people in jail for their religious beliefs and it isn’t for criticizing the Christian Church. That’s been legal for 250 years. In another 50 years British slaves will be serving their Muslim masters and this discussion will be irrelevant.

7. Islamophobia is a meaningless pretext for the silencing of all criticism of, and reporting of the words and actions of Muslims resulting from western political eunuchs submitting to the Muslim Brotherhood and other agents of Islamic theocracy in waiting.

8. Disparaging someone simply because they’re a Muslim is just good old-fashioned bigotry.

   In a free country, criticizing Islam is as much a personal right as criticizing any other ideology, religious or secular, whether Lutheranism or liberalism, Catholicism or conservatism, Shintoism or socialism.

9. The definition of Islamophobia is Normalcy. Nobody normal believes you get to kill someone because they drew a cartoon of a hash-smoking pedophile from 1400 years ago. Nobody normal cares if you criticize their faith, because they have faith, FFS. Nobody normal cares what others think because trying to control what somebody thinks is what fascist pricks do.

10. Watched Levison Woods on his series of walking the Nile, Central America and now Arabia. He covered most of the countries in Arabia like wonderful Yemen. One of his earlier trips was walking from south Russia to Iran through places like Kashmir. Scary stuff.

    What a series of dangerous primitive shit holes countries. Only the discovery of oil and its money tree allowed a few countries like SA and the Emirates to buy western materialism.

11. sooooooo islam is back to being a race?
    and the phobia part. an ‘irrational fear’ of oh, a religi…. er ‘race’ with a track record of 10s of THOUSANDS of victims (many of them muslim) in terrorist attacks all over the world. but it’s ‘irrational’ to fear these hate filled murderous peace loving, er, racial types.

    oh look, just today in germany, a young rape victim is murdered in an honour killing.

12. Islamophobia: The irrational fear that Muslims are going to break into your house while on vacation and give it a fabulous makeover.

13. Islamophobia: The deep seated fear carried by most muslims that Mohammed was truely a fraud, a pedafile, and a false profit.

14. Simple. Any opposition to Islamization by anybody who isn’t a Chinaman.

15. Islamophobia; the fear of offending mohammedans because they are prone to violence.

    1. Well you could add to that if Christians are called infidel dogs or what ever, they don’t go haywire, but a single picture stated it is the profit there might just start events that kill people. In order to prevent that, we shut up on ‘slam. That is Islamophobia.

       A quote from the Youtube comments

       – “Islam is right about women.”
       – “I’m not sure if that’s racist against Islam or racist against women, but I know it’s racist.”

       *** this is Islamophobia condensed in two sentences

       => the first sentence probably can be used in public if it is a woman in hijab saying it. A person without that privilege is not allowed to say anything like that.
