OK....

Take a few minutes to read this illogical screed, great entertainment.

Moreover, when people are targeted based on their identity, the persistent exposure to discrimination has a pervasive, negative effect on health. Being a victim of Islamophobia can be traumatizing, with severe and lasting health impacts.

So, you're worried about YOUR health?

Well, we non-muslims are worried about OUR LIVES.

Focus on your own 7th century death cult and quit whining!

Kuffars’ fear of Islam MAY cause stress in Muslims, which may lead to Suddenly Jihad Syndrome (SJS) and Premature Explosion (PEX).

The cure is a sustained dose of Quranic Propaganda (Qupro) from elementary school until the death bed, which could be the side of the road or airplane fuselage due to aforementioned SJS or PEX

Judging by the brief scan of her CV, and her association with “population control,” I read in this that it may be necessary to place Islamophobes in mental hospitals for their own good.

“The unfounded hatred of Islam”

Well now, I am not too sure about that.

[blueplum]

Civilizational jihad. America is a place where those persecuted in the name of Islam can find safety. To refer to those who stand for freedom from oppression ‘mentally ill’ is nothing more than a shining example of Islamic superiority complex - the same Islamics that make a show of setting themselves apart in a nation that gave up Puritanism 300 years ago.

[Robert DeLong]

It never ceases to amaze me that liberals are so blind to irony. People who have a fear of people who, for no reason other than they do not share their religious beliefs, are brutally killing them need to have their heads examined for unwarranted fear that is warranted.

That even made me dizzy typing that.

[Crucial]

The Left has to get out ahead of the inevitable backlash of undertandable fear and righteous indignation of Americans who want to survive and see their unalienable rights preserved.

[cardinal4]

We should probably treat sexual slavery of captured Yazidi girls as a public health issue, too, eh, Goleen? How about lowering a cage full of prisoners into a pond? Perhaps stoning should be considered too?

Jeez, liberalism is a mental disorder..

61% of muslims in America are first generation immigrants. Many resent this nation and still hope that Sharia Law becomes the law of the land.

We are being colonized.

And as bad as they have it over here, things are FAR FAR worse for non-muslims (or muslims who convert away from Islam) back in the countries they came from.

"The unfounded hatred of Islam or stigmatization"

She lost me right there. If she is so stupid she can't see the foundation for fear, distrust, stigmatization, and even hatred for Islam ... then she's too stupid to debate. For pity's stake, even muslims are fearful of other muslims who are more muslim than they are. Cults are like that.

[montag813]

When I was 16, a Texas police officer pulled me over and said "it's people like you that are ruining this country. Go back to your country." People who speed, I thought? Girls who are late for figure skating practice? I wasn't sure what he meant. What country was I supposed to go to? I was born and raised in Austin. Then, it dawned on me. It was a month after 9/11, and he meant Muslims.

Or, far more likely, she is just lying about the entire "incident."

[logitech]

Why we should treat all Islamophobia as a public health issue.

Slow, hanging curveball alert!

Paging Mickey Mantle.

[sima_yi]

...many Muslim or Middle Eastern Americans have been repeatedly exposed to hate...

How many Muslims have been killed by Americans committing hate crimes?

How many Americans have been killed by Muslims committing hate crimes?

(Just askin'.)

[kiryandil]

You can always shut these people down with one simple phrase:

Muslims don't believe in the Natural Rights of Man

[arthurus]

All disagreements with the prevailing ideology should be treated as "health issues." Institutions should be developed to treat these health issues residentially. Alexander Solzhenytsin described how these institutions should work in his The First Circle.

[arthurus]

The unfounded hatred of Islam or stigmatization, fear and dislike of Muslims

It is well founded.

[Mr. Mojo]

Muslim Americans have been harassed on college campuses

What a load. Moslems are treated like gods on college campii, and every accommodation imaginable is made for them.

It’s not Islamophobia that is the issue. It’s Islamoblindness and there is an epidemic of it. Islamoblindness is the inability to see the truth about islam’s attempt at world conquest and the core belief that lying about terrorism will make it not happen to themselves.

[GraceG]

Question i would love to ask her: If islam is a religion of peace, then terrorists are not muslims so it is perfectly fine to stuff their mouths with bacon and feed them to piga after we kill them, right?
