Can you imagine the modern MSM being around during WWII, decrying the widespread "Japaphobia" in the country at the time?

You know, buddy, I have Islamophobia. No antidote needed. All it takes is news, every day, for the clarity needed to feed it. I personally believe it will save my life.

Islamophobia doesn't exist.

I don't understand about Pentecostals, either, but I don't worry about them killing me for no reason. Funny, isn't it?

Hey Ron Claiborne get back to me when 19 Amish men hijack and fly planes into buildings, killing 3,000 innocent people.

Trust me, we stupid Americans are learning.
Problem is, the more we learn , the LESS we like raghead cameljockey dirtkissers.
In otherwords, "to know them is to despise them".
Lock and load, boys and girls--it's gonna get nasty and LOCAL.

James Zogby of the Arab-American Institute then turned up to reinforce the notion that we aren't mean-spirited - just dumb: "I think that more generally speaking, America is not Islamophobic, it really just doesn't understand the religion at all."

On the contrary. We understand Islam all too well. We got a crash course on Islam, with a special emphasis on its most dangerous features, on 9/11.

Yes, that's the thing, isn't it?

'Islamophobia'? I think not.

But there is a type of dementia evident Mr. Claiborne... the PC sickness that prohibits calling fundamentalist Islam for what it really is... a perverted, bloodthirsty death-cult!

Heaven forbid, isalmophobia couldn't possibly be the result of the utter insanity of it's fanatical followers.

That's right. Any fear or concern about Islam is factual, rational, and real.

Well, then I have to place blame where it belongs - ABC itself.

It was ABC in 1972 which was in position to cover the murder of the Israelis at the Munich Olympics. Sportscaster Jim McManus (McKay) was thrust into the news business.

It was ABC which noticed that Palestinians were the culprits. ABC fingered the Arabs first. Why can't they stop blaming others for the current levels of Islamophobia that ABC itself fostered?

I didn't make myself clear.

Islamophobia=fear of islam

I don't fear it.
I just want to irradicate it from the U.S.

America learned all it needs to know about Islam when we went to visit the shores of Tripoli.
