Their actions are determined by their fears. Their Islamophobia makes them afraid of Islam and Muslims so they resist. Their phobia is based on an unreasoning fear, which controls their actions.

What interests me is that all too often you ask a racist if they fear Islam or Muslims and they'll answer, "Yes!" It seems that the same sort of fears drives racism and Islamophobia. Fear that they will lose control of the society around them, they will become a minority, that society will change and they won't know how to cope or manage their place in it. They fear encountering people with different views and faces. They need to learn to accept that as an individual they will never be able to control others. They need to learn to accept other people.

You never know, they might even find friends and allies amongst them! Grin

That's what the brown shirts said to the Naziphobes and the Bolsheviks to the sons of Mother Russia.

How interesting. You able to supply any quotes that make those claims Soren or are you just spewing your usual attempt to justify your religious persecution of the majority of Muslims who are peaceful and lawful?

One thing that struck me about Hitler was his extreme abstemiousness. He ate every night a dish of vegetables, and mineral water was his only drink. He never smoked. This reminds me of an amusing incident when Hitler became Chancellor. The German vegetarians have a central organ of their league, and this paper came out with flaming headlines:

FIRST GREAT VICTORY OF GERMAN VEGETARIANS. HITLER BECOMES CHANCELLOR.
