What is Islamophobia?

An Israeli friend of mine recently visited the USA. He wrote that wherever he went he could feel the undercurrent of worry and fear for the future.

America and the entire world are in turmoil as the threat of terror looms over them and Islam spreads its tentacles over much of Europe and even the USA. It seems that Islamists have the West just where they want it to be. They are making extraordinary strides in Western societies toward criminalizing those who dare oppose the Islamist end-state — the imposition of brutal Shariah Law on Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

In May 2007, 57 Muslim states pressured the United Nations Human Rights Council to guarantee the right of free expression only without criticism of Islam, on the grounds of religious discrimination. Now a UN Special Reporter on “Freedom of Expression” has been charged with documenting instances in which individuals and media organizations engage in what the Islamists call "Islamophobia."

Excuse me, but criticizing Jews, Christian and other religions is OK ??
The first time I wrote the truth about Islam in a German Forum, I was attacked as an “Islamophobe”. I had to “google” the term to find out that this was a new word for prejudice or discrimination against Islam or Muslims.

Oh my goodness, I simply tried to point out what the Qu’ran taught, even using its own verses (suras) as documentation; and because of this I was “diagnosed” as having a phobia or fear of Muslims? - The Arab News labeled “Islamophobia” as the worst form of racism and terrorism.

The English suffixes -phobia, -phobic, -phobe (of Greek origin: φόβος/φοβία ) occur in psychiatry to construct words that describe irrational, disabling fear as a mental disorder. In short, medically speaking, it is an anxiety disorder. Yes, you got it, if you criticize Islam, you are just plain crazy and mentally insane!
Jordan's Prosecutor General has recently brought charges against Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders. According to a lawsuit, "Fitna" — Wilders' short documentary film that ties certain Koranic passages to Islamist terrorism — is said to have slandered and insulted the Prophet Mohammed, demeaned Islam and offended the feelings of Muslims in violation of the Jordanian penal code. Mr. Wilders has been summoned to Amman to stand trial and, if he fails to appear voluntarily, international warrants for his arrest will be issued.

And so we are today witnessing the spectacle of authors' books being burned, ministers prosecuted, documentary film-makers investigated and journalists hauled before so-called "Human Rights Councils" on charges of offending Muslims, slandering Islam or other "Islamophobic" conduct.

The fact remains that the term "Islamophobia" has one purpose – to suppress any criticism, legitimate or not, of Islam. And given the cowardice of the Western media, and the collusion of the left in banning any such criticism it is working.

The term “Islamophobia” is therefore a tool of deception that misleads the world, blackmails the West, terrorizes whoever dares to criticize Islam, fuels the anger of Muslim youth, and minimizes the danger of Islamic terrorism, merely because the laws, sacred texts, and modern practices of Islam demand the submission of culture, politics, religion and all social expression.

In short, if you tell the truth about Islam, you are just plain nuts and should be admitted to the psychiatric ward!
