Jun 18, 2008 - Islamophobia is a misnomer. If islamophobia= an irrational fear of islam. My fear of islam is perfectly rational. Their mujahadeen fighters, who have no alegiance to any goverment or country are attacking people of all faiths on every continent. Non-muslims and muslims of other sects or clans and muslims they don't feal are muslim enough.

Jun 18, 2008 - If you really want to fight islamophobia, as you call it. Why don't you start by dealing with the muslim extremists(as their called). Then maybe people will stop fearing being blown up while at the mall, in a bus or at church, temple, mosque or wherever they choose to pray.

Aug 13, 2008 - Good point. Maybe you can let us get the same air time and front cover editions from the media, but then again, representation of the majority of peaceful Muslims wouldn't sell as much. The majority of Muslims are not extremists, however, there are some who are. What concerns me is why those extremists are allowed to propagate their views and peaceful Muslims cannot. Why is the media in the west is pre-occupied in demonising Islam when the teachings are contrary to what is propagated?

Aug 13, 2008 - There's a big difference between what some so-called Muslims practice and what Islam teaches. To kill and terrorize innocent people are contrary to the teachings of Islam. Similarly, to bomb and terrorize other nations through a variety of tactics as military aggression, starving innocent children, murdering old men, women, and young children, preventing the economic growth of a nation, etc. are all contrary to the teachings of Jesus.
