Answer 6

If Muslims manage to scare Non Muslims they swagger with boasting and scare u more. If they get a hiding they turn peace full and accuse u of Islamophobia.

Answer 7

Nothing, because I believe that any "phobia" pertaining to beliefs is essentially defined by those that make the accusation of ".......phobia."  A true "phobia" is an aversion to the object of the phobia.  Accusations of islamophobia are generally made by radicals and not true Muslims or followers of Islam.  This is just another of the currently popular "hatreds" that are being bounced around in our society.  The term is used for anybody that is against .... (whatever the radical chooses to be "for."  For example, if a person is for stricter immigration control, then they might be accused of a "phobia" against hispanics/Mexicans.  This is not, on the face of it true.  But there are many that will jump up and shout "he/she/it/they just hate .........! Fill in the blank.  When we choose to use the most odious terms to define those with whom we disagree, we choose to hide the true "haters."

Answer 8

I believe that "Islamophobia" is a term used by two groups:



1.  the extremists who have hijacked your religion

2.  the PC brigade who only serve to make people turn against Islam.

I agree with your second point. The media plays a huge part in forming peoples stereotypes/beliefs about Islam and Muslims in general. I wouldn't say the media is against Muslims, but with extremists using your religion to spread their hate at the moment, you have to understand why you only see such things in the news. (I'm not saying it's right, I think it would be good to hear about some of the good things that Muslims do in the news).

I also agree with you that Muslims should play a part in fighting peoples (often very wrong) beliefs about Islam. I once watched a video of an Australian Muslim convert, who said that if Muslims want to be accepted in the Western world, then they need to get out there and integrate themselves more with the society of the country that they in.

FYI - I am not a Muslim, but I do have many Muslim friends who have opened my eyes to the fact that most Muslims are very lovely and welcoming people.

Answer 9

i know that when i walk into a room, i can almost hear the minds of  the ppl staring @ me screaming omg it's a terrorist! huh that is what i know!

Answer 10

It's a term Muslims made up to silence anyone that disagrees with them.  Only PC liberals think it's real.  And if it is, it's only because many Muslims display infidelophobia.  

Answer 11

Islamophobia is purposely created by certain organizations who inform the media in order to promote war against countries that have oil.

Islamophobia is a very profitable career these days for many people.
