The term "Islamophobia" is a potent weapon used by jihadists and their supporters.
Jihadists are masters at putting people on the defensive and the term “Islamophobia” is a potent weapon constantly used by them. Essentially, it shuts down any comment about Islam that is not favorable. Initially it is the back door to censorship. Ultimately, it is to establish the Islamic takeover of the West because it obfuscates factual evidence of many of the heinous aspects of sharia law and societies under Islamic rule.
It was "[a]t the end of the 1970s, [when] Iranian fundamentalists invented the term 'Islamophobia [.]' The aim of this word was to declare Islam inviolate." The term, which is "worthy of totalitarian propaganda, is deliberately unspecific about whether it refers to a religion, a belief system or its faithful adherents around the world."
The lack of specific definition, of course, leaves the door wide open to multiple interpretations, all to the benefit of the jihadists who would use the word to suit their vile purposes. Thus, "the term 'Islamophobia' denies the reality of an Islamic offensive in Europe all the better to justify it [and] it attacks secularism by equating it with fundamentalism." It silences all those Muslims who question the Koran, who demand equality of the sexes, who claim the right to renounce religion, and who want to practice their faith freely [.]"
R
epeatedly, freedom lovers have demonstrated how the term Islamophobia has served its purpose spectacularly well. It allows Islamic apologists to "silence any criticism of Islam." The term has infiltrated Middle East and Islamic Studies and anyone who would monitor mosques for threats to the public order will be denounced. Consequently "child marriages, forced marriages, female seclusion, honor killings, gang rapes of infidel women, or the enslavement and sale of females for sex slavery" cannot be publicized for fear of being accused of racism.
Are these irrational fears? In fact "[i]slamists use diversity politics and ecumenical dreams to move the holy struggle forward. Invoking Islamophobia, they seek to ruin any critics. With the enthusiastic support of America's multiculturalists and cultural left, they are succeeding."
If the following terrify you, then you are practicing Islamophobia:
Christophobia is not used because as Stephen Crawford explains "Christians don’t riot when someone portrays Jesus on a cross upside-down, or in a glass of piss. Christians don’t kill over a mis-handled Bible. Christians don’t issue death threats at every perceived insult. Christians don’t perceive everything as an insult in the first place."
In 2015, Jonathan S. Tobin documented how Islamophobia fears hampered the war against ISIS. The word created a national security risk because of the purging of relevant and factual training that is directly related to Islamic terror. It is why in 2013 Berkeley professors claimed that Islamophobia was a greater threat than Islamic terrorism. Moreover, the campaign to counter terrorist propaganda on university campuses is derided as Islamophobic. Hurling an accusation of Islamophobia is why no one can be horrified when a Muslim Imam claims women who don't wear hijabs are asking to be raped.
In fact, FBI hate crime statistics show that claims about Islamophobia are false yet such assertions are repeatedly whipped out.
In 2005, Daniel Pipes gave an overview of how the term was coined in 1996 by a self-proclaimed Commission on British Muslims and Islamophobia.
From a legal standpoint, "no one would be sure which forms of words could land them in court. It is precisely such uncertainty that makes the difference between a police state and a free society."
In essence, "Britain is fatally infected by Islam." Bill Warner, says of Islamophobia, "It is whatever the Muslims say it is."
Islamophobia is an ideological fabrication. It is continually used as a thought crime to create a totalitarian future. As Andrew C. McCarthy has stated, "it is a neologism coined by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is as practiced in the art of deception as any organization on Earth."
It is well overdue to stop catering and bowing to those who would invoke the term. We should all be Islamophobes or Naziphobes or Communistphobes given the evil they perpetuate.

If the following terrify you, then you are practicing Islamophobia:
- beheadings for alleged offences against the Koran
- being stoned to death for showing a body part
- being murdered for being gay
- being raped
- being murdered for religious conversion
- violent jihad against people of other faiths.

The word literally means 'undue fear of Islam' but it is used to mean 'prejudice against Muslims[.]…
The term presents several problems, however. What exactly constitutes an 'undue fear of Islam' when Muslims acting in the name of Islam today make up the premier source of worldwide aggression, both verbal and physical, versus non-Muslims and Muslims alike? What, one wonders, is the proper amount of fear?
Promoters of the 'Islamophobia' concept habitually exaggerate the problem:
- Law enforcement: British Muslims are said to suffer from persistent police discrimination but an actual review of the statistics by Kenan Malik makes mincemeat of this 'Islamophobia myth.'
- Cultural: Muslims 'are faced with an extreme flow of anti-Islamic literature that preaches hatred against Islam [.]'
- Linguistic: A professor of Islamic studies at George Washington University, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, falsely reported... at a U.N. event, 'Confronting Islamophobia,' reports Alexander Joffe) attempts to hide the Arabic origins of English words such as adobe -- which derives in fact from ancient Egyptian, not from Arabic.
- Historical: The term anti-Semitism was originally used to describe sentiment against Arabs living in Spain, Mr. Nasr also stated in his speech, and was not linked to Jews until after World War II. Nonsense: anti-Semitism dates back only to 1879, when it was coined by Wilhelm Marr, and has always referred specifically to hatred of Jews.
