One of the most basic rights is that of free speech but that right is not allowed by some. We are privileged to be able to speak and not persecuted for our opinions or for presenting facts about how others can be harmed by the abuse of religion.
Islamophobia as I define it is not about people who have a kind of good fact-based criticism of the Islamic religion. Theres nothing negative about that. People are entitled to those types of criticisms. Islamophobia is when you have an unfounded irrational fear that tends then to lead to bias, discrimination, hate speech and hate crimes
~John Esposito
"bias, discrimination, hate speech and hate crimes", isn't that what is behind so much of the anti-semitism and anti-Israeli hate that has lead to a century of violence? What is behind so many lies and has prevented peace?
