Islamophobio is an oxymoron

A phobia is an irrational fear.

It is not irrational to fear evil.

John Quincy Adams on the true nature of Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Like The Borg, Islam does not assimilate into the regions it colonizes - The Borg are the ones who assimilate others into itself. It is interesting, that the symbol for The Borg immediately brings to mind the central insignia on the flag of Iran, a stylized version of the word for “Allah” in Arabic.

Iranians are NOT Arabic (something that has to do with the continuing antipathy between Arabic Sunni and Iranian Shi’ite), so they do take liberties with the Arabic alphabet, leading to all kinds of strife.

“Islamophobia” is not in any way confined only to the non-Muslim world. Muslims have totally irrational fears of other Muslims, and act on it daily. And it is supposed to all be Islam.
