Islamophobia is a Myth

That’s right, there’s no such thing as Islamophobia. Why do I say this? Because ‘phobia’ is defined as an irrational fear; fear of Islam and it’s most ardent adherents is not irrational. Rather, it is the quite reasonable response to the persistent, repeated actions of individuals around the world who claim to be practitioners of that religion.

And not just those who actually carry out bombings and other attacks on frequently innocent victims (what’s more, ironically enough, the victims – whether innocent or not – are frequently other Muslims). No, the perfectly rational fear derives also from the Palestinians celebrating when they heard about 9-11, and from the idiot in New York – one of the supposed ‘moderate’ Muslims – who says those attacks were our own fault. It’s because of the many Muslims who take to the streets with posters saying “death to those who insult Islam” because of a couple of freaking cartoons. It’s about asshole cab drivers who won’t accept a fare because the blind passenger has a seeing eye dog.

It’s right, rational, reasonable and appropriate to have a fear of Islam, because only if we are afraid will we be motivated to stand against the creep of sharia, the hijab, stoning a woman because she was raped.

I fear what islam is doing to this country and the world, but I am not irrational.
