Perhaps the problem is you don't like your
Islamophobia being exposed for what it is?
What is also interesting is that you invariably suggest that those who ask you the question whether or not you mean all "Muslims", are "apologetics" for wanting to clarify if you suffer from Islamophobia or not.
Tsk, tsk. Perhaps Soren could help? Afterall, he's a trick-cyclist by trade, supposedly. Problem is, he appears more in need of that profession than anyone else here. Tsk, tsk.
Yeah - what IS Islamophobia?
An irrational fear of people who are Muslim, Soren. Surely you know what you suffer from, don't you? Tsk, tsk.
Quote:Why is there no, say, 'Sikhophobia'? They look funny too, dress silly and have silly beliefs.
Talk to the people who keep mistaking them for Muslims, Soren. Perhaps they can tell you why they fear people who wear beards, turbans and have strange and different beliefs to them. Why do you fear them?
Quote:But there is a huge difference between Muslims and Sikhs, causing the former to be suspected/hated/feared/in the news all thee time while the latter is barely noticed (even though they, too, come from a country partitioned by the British).
Never known any Sikhs, have you Soren? Punjabi separatism was and still is a very topical issue with them. Don't forget who killed Indira Gandhi...
Quote:Can you guess the reason, Brian? Clue - it;s to do with how they conduct themselves.
Most Sikhs conduct themselves very well, I agree. Most Muslims do as well. However, to you, Muslims appear to represent the very epitome of evil for some strange reason.
I'll ask you again, Soren, how many Muslims do you actually know well enough to talk to them about their religious beliefs with? Indeed, how many Muslims do you know at all? Any?
