You are welcome to define these terms anyway you want, but most people would not agree with you. It is hard to have a discussion if people cannot agree what they mean by the terms they use.Adrian Hellemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611563345804489187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222065172626712190.post-86631650717048621232015-06-22T16:19:24.974-04:002015-06-22T16:19:24.974-04:00“Islamophobia” is an allegedly irrational fear of ...“Islamophobia” is an allegedly irrational fear of losing life or liberty to Islamic rule, merely because the laws and sacred texts and traditional practises of islam demand the submission of culture, politics, religion and all social expression. it tends to afflict those most familiar with the religion, whilst sparing the more gullible and naive.<br /><br /><br />An “Islamaphobe” is a none Muslim who knows more about Islam than than they are supposed to know about Islam.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222065172626712190.post-66821309700017767922015-01-21T21:31:10.783-05:002015-01-21T21:31:10.783-05:00Interesting that the PEGIDA protests were larges...Interesting that the PEGIDA protests were largest at 18,000 protestors in Dresden, Germany.
