Why don't we have sikhophobia, hinduphobia or buddhismophobia?

It's not a very useful analogy. Smoking causes cancer through chemical-biological mechanisms that are observable and well understood. Inhaling tobacco smoke damages the cells in your lungs, altering their DNA and causing them to become cancerous. We can observe, empirically, how smoking leads to cancer. You cannot describe the link between Islam and terrorism in the same way. It is a social, political and economic issue, not a physical phenomena. Your analogy tells us nothing of the causes of terrorism; it only tells us that some terrorists are Muslims. The actual causes are far more complex and nuanced than simple religious fundamentalism.

Think about it, why don't America care about North Korea? Because they don't have oil, or anything that America/West can exploit.

I was wondering about this last night, how come islam gets so much bad rap while the other big religions are barely ever mentioned? I mean if you watch or read the news day in day out you almost never see them mentioned, never mind hear about millions hating or disliking them ?! And there are plenty of buddhists, hindus or sikhs in the UK but somehow there seems to be ZERO issues with them...

Hitchens had a theory about it :

That's exactly why the US hasn't imposed strict sanctions on North Korea for the past 20 years.....oh wait.

It's not a blanket accusation. In this thread, I called him one and if you look at his first post, you can see why.

NB: If you're an islamophobe yourself, you may not see any offence in it

Why are you guys so hellbent on a definitionv take the word literally as it is. Don't divert the attention away from the hate spewing from your mouths with facetious arguments.

at age 6 and then married her at age of 9 when she got her period therefore she began puberty.

I don't understand where you islamophobes get "hate preaching" from? I've lived in the top two most dense Muslim populations throughout my life and I've been in mosques around the world and I have never seen mainstream or underground hate preaching/terrorism by preachers in person.

Are you saying that the age of consent should be lowered to the age at which a girl starts puberty? Is this also the case for boys?



I'm not too sure how you arrived at this conclusion? Where is your proof that children were more mature in the past? What do you even mean by mature?



Slavery was also once acceptable and normal. I guess that means the Atlantic slave trade was all fine and dandy as it was acceptable then?

Just because something was acceptable in the past does not mean that it is moral or that we cannot criticise it based on our morals today. So do you believe an adult man should be able to marry a 9 year old girl now?

Lame argument from someone butting in a conversation that doesn't concern them.

wtf, care to substantiate any of that with actual evidence? The West declaring war on an Islamic country because you won't eat a pig?

The aforementioned will fly before any of that BS is true.

First you gotta agree that it's hateful speech? It's hateful from the top to bottom as you are spreading lies about a religion.

Second, I don't study a mickey mouse degree like sociology to give you a textbook definition of islamophobe.

Now answer my question; what is your obsession with Islam and why do you feel it's a productive use of your time to try and bring down Islam?

Sikhs themselves are also victims of Islamphobia as some Brits, while passionate about their dislike of Islam, have come to the erroneous conclusion that wearing a turban makes you a Muslim. For example: spraying "Die Muslims Die" on a Sikh temple. http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/yobs-spray-die-muslims-die-9985403
