Being suspicious of Muslims is not a phobia.

The phobia is on the part of those who coddle, excuse, and apologize for Muslims because they are afraid of a violent response if they don’t.

Hard core conversion to Christianity might well solve their problem.

Bet they never thought of that.

Doesn’t look like `Islamaphobia’ made the list.
But `Ithyphallophobia’ did: fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis.

just more of C.A.I.R., an outgrowth of the M.B., following it’s own 20 year old plan.

***Being suspicious of Muslims is not a phobia.****

A better term would be Islamomisia = a revulsion of islam.

I learned that from another Freeper .

Kind of like Homomisia, a revulsion of homos.

Correct. A phobia is an irrational fear.

Should read:

CAIR, UC Berkeley Growing New Islamophobia in U.S Report Documents

It’s like growing weed, but incredibly more lucrative.

As others have pointed out, when the author states:
definition of Islamophobia as a “close-minded prejudice against or hatred of Islam and Muslims”
the author is ignoring the root of the word. A phobia is an irrational rear of something that poses no threat. Since so many people realize what phobia actually means, and since some level of fear of Islam or Muslims is obviously rational, the author is unintentionally subverting his own position.
Once you get a person to dismiss an argument it is much harder to get them to consider a related argument later.

CAIR us just upset they lost there Fed tax-exempt status, which was their own fault anyway for not following IRS rules. Sore losers.
