What's the word for hating the leftist media with every fiber of one's being?

Aristerophobia or rather misaristery (like misogyny).

[weegee]

Easy there. I didn't call for violence.

No sense to get into name calling, care to apologize?

My statement was that there is NOT a rash of hate crimes (including violent punches) being waged against muslims (provoked or unprovoked).

[yankeedame]

I don't believe they are "misunderstood". I think they are thoroughly understood.

Amen!

[Right_in_Virginia]

I highly recommend "America Alone" by Mark Steyn. It's an eye-opener.

[weegee]

The Boston Globe is known for publishing BS.

An activist provided them with some porn site photos which had appeared in the Arab Street media (Egypt and others) as evidence that American troops were raping Iraqi women (this was about the time of Abu Ghraib).

The photos had already been exposed as fakes and denounced by the State Department when the Boston Globe chose to publish them as fact.

This is the chain of command for the Globe apparently. Liberal activists speak louder than "words".

They know about it, but it appears they don't know what to do. I know a few Moslems and they don't seem to be the type to be militant or even express a strong opinion on anything, not even the weather. They are very mild people. It is starting to look like they simply are dismayed and wish it would stop. That won't be happening, so this is going to take a long time and eventually it might come to a head or might get killed off. If a strong leader emerges amongst these mild creatures it would be surprising, but it's possible.

Is it correct?

[NRA2BFree]

Yes, and I've said it on another thread: I want Muslims to have such a high anxiety level and to feel uncomfortable enough to decided to live somewhere else than in the U.S. The Euroweenies will have to fend for themselves.

I agree with you 100%. They can ALL go back to their own desert and heard camels for the rest of their lives for all I care. I'm sick and tired of hearing they're going to destroy America and kill us all.

it's not all a bad thing. Thanks to them, Americans are better armed than they have been at any point in history, and that's a good thing. Hopefully, the idiots in DC will understand that < before > they try to disarm us so they can implement their one world government.

Want to put the fear of God into them? Tell the Muslims that beginning tomorrow they will be treated exactly like Jews are treated in Islamic countries. That should terrify them.

[Peelod]

many lag behind the European mainstream in education

Madrassas are grinding out hordes of islamic 'scholars' to serve mankind. /s

[MaxMax]

I prefer the term Islamohysteria for those Islamowhackos.

[spanalot]

This pairs nicely with Russophobia!

I agree with you 100%. And, I am a Christian.

[mcmuffin]

Is · lam · o · pho · bi · a, n. 1. The unreasonable fear that the Muslim sawing at your neck with a dull knife is trying to cut off your head.

BWA HA HA!

That's a great tagline!

[Ronin]

...where many Muslims are menaced and misunderstood

Heh!

Sorry bucky! The problem is that people are beginning to understand all too well what Islam is all about -- and they don't like it one bit.

[mcmuffin]

Dang! Too much tagline text

[yoink15]

Conservative America! New for the 21st Century, but still the "Land of the Free" * and "Home of the Brave!" **

*Certain rules and restrictions apply. Religious freedom subject to change if non-Christian. Individual association with any Islamic-centered religion may void any and all freedoms at any time. Citizens are advised that partial or full ethnicity stemming from Middle-Eastern areas may lead to persecution despite lack of evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

**Brave not to be construed to mean "tolerant".

What's the word for hating the leftist media with every fiber of one's being?

Decency.

[Sender]

You're damn right you are all under a general suspicion of terrorism. Get used to it! When you adopt the Islamic faith, you have left the civilized world.

You are going to be suspected as you pray loudly in a foreign tongue. You are going to be suspected as you dress in medieval fashion.

You have taken up brotherhood with murderers and terrorists. Although you may be innocent, you are judged by your tribe, and by your tribe you will be known.

[MinuteGal]

There's been no particular rise in "islamphobia".

Au contraire..........there's been an incredible rise in infidelphobia.
