The invention of Islamophobia
Sign and Sight ^ | 1/3/11 | Pascal Bruckner

Islamophobia was invented to silence those Muslims who question the Koran and who demand equality of the sexes. By Pascal Bruckner

At the end of the 1970s, Iranian fundamentalists invented the term "Islamophobia" formed in analogy to "xenophobia". The aim of this word was to declare Islam inviolate. Whoever crosses this border is deemed a racist. This term, which is worthy of totalitarian propaganda, is deliberately unspecific about whether it refers to a religion, a belief system or its faithful adherents around the world.

Islamaphobia is comparable to that irrational fear that women have of men who are serial rapists.

Well, perhaps that’s a bad example. Its more like the irrational fear that people have concerning swimming with Bull sharks. No wait, another bad example...

Have I mentioned poisonous snakes?

Let me help:

A “phobia” is an irrational fear.

80% of terrorist attacks around the world, over the past 20 years have been committed by Islamic Terrorists.

Therefore, having the desire to address, deter, and defeat Islamic Terrorists, is sensible objective, NOT an “irrational fear”!

“Everything I ever wanted to know about Islam I learned on 9/11/01.”

1. The reason the TSA exists: Muslims

2. The reason Homeland Security exists: Muslims

3. The reason we are at war in Iraq and Afghanistan: Muslims

4. The reason 3,000 Americans died on Sept 11, 2001: Muslims

5. The reason you are groped and x-rayed at airports: Muslims

6. The reason you have to go through metal detectors and take your shoes off at airports: Muslims

Muslims are a 12th century made-up religion predicated on violence, murder and the inequality of women. They are fanatical killers bent on the takeover of the entire world to their sick and depraved religion. They hate Christians, Jews, women, homosexuals, and modern culture. They are mentally ill. And they are here to kill you and your family.

Islamophobia was invented to silence those Muslims [unbelievers]who question the Koran and who demand equality of the sexes and anyone who challenge the validity of a "religion" which has three inseparable components, one of which is domination of the world by force, not excluding mass murder, mayhem, and the rejection of the primacy of the individual, the hallmark of civilized, free societies.

There.
Fixed it for somebody.

Paging the Viking kitties...

New troll alert!
I can so recognize deceptive trolling presenting warped defense of islam and its propaganda, under the guise of condemning it.

Buzz off, troll.
