Why Islamophobia Is A Myth

The term Islamophobia is often thrown around at critics

of Islam to stifle and shut down debate

But the label Islamophobia is not the label of shame
had it been a more honest word

The Word phobia is defined as

a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that
leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.

To use that term is both absurd and an insult to genunie victims of racism

To use the term Islamophobia as some sort of label for a racism charge is wrong

as Islam is a religion and not a race
People can choose their religion and convert to another religion
People cant choose their race
claiming criticism of Islam is akin to racism
is the very same thing and akin to saying
criticism of communism and capitalism is racism
So the term Islamophobia is not only a false concept
but a grave insult to genunie victims of racism
to people who have been attacked or discriminated against because of their skin colour

To use term Islamophobia to label critics of Islam
as havng a phobia is Absurd

But just show how absurd it is

Imagine applying the term scienaphobe to critics of scientology

or imagine applying the term Wiccaphobe to Critics of Wicca

Or Imagine applying the term pagaphobe to critics of paganism

Or imagine applying the term faluphobe to critics of falun gong

or Imagine applying the term Buddaphobe to critics of Buddhism

They all make absurd terms and false concepts
just as a false and absurd the concept of so called Islamophobia
