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

Let me explain in simple steps:

The word originated in Arabic, yes.

It later became used in English, and was transliterated as "Moslem".

This was later updated to "Muslim", which has since become a more popular spelling.

Some of us still use the old spelling, which is perfectly reasonable. In my case I also use "gaol", encylopaedia" and "mediaeval", all of which are less used than newer alternatives, yet are perfectly valid.

I have never said it is the most-used spelling; it isn't.

What a word means in another language has no bearing on what it means in English. We use many words in English derived from other languages which mean in English something entirely different from their meaning in the original language. For instance, do you know what "cul de sac" means in French?

When I use a word in English it has the English meaning, whatever it might mean in another language.

Lmfao, "Moslems".

Perhaps so. But that wasn't my point. My point was that if it really was a dangerous ideology, the 1.6 billion Muslims would not exist, nor would you.

I skipped most of that btw.

My point is, that word is also used as an insult for Muslims. Whether it be by English speakers or Arabic or every other language on this Earth.
It is mainly known as the definition I have given.
Now you can argue it means whatever, and it probably does.
But I think you know what it is widely used for and my point this whole time is that THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE.

Its confusing to yourself because you always assume your right.

Oh, did I win?

-_-

Are you actually retarded? I mean a) you write like that because it's who you are or b) you actually believe by writing like that you make me mad.

I mean whatever it is, it is delicious to see you try so hard. And to know that you will fail your shitty exams. It's so finger-tasting delicious.

Clearly, you are a troll.

Think about it, why don't America care about North Korea? Because they don't have oil,

We do have communiphobia. It is vaguely gauche to be opposed to communism despite all the terrible things it has done.

We do not however have conserviphobia.

Whooooooahhhhh sooommmeeoooonnnesss RAGING, BLOODY NORA!!!!!!!


Looks like someone ****ed their exams over and has put their life in the bin aahahahahahahahahahhaahaahahah loollololololololo GET MAD MATE GET MAD. YOU MAD BRO!?!?!?!??! BRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!?!?!!? COME AT MEEEEEEEEE BRRRROROROROOROOOOOOOOOO!

With all due respect, it appears that it is you who has misunderstood the context.
Unless, of course, you are one of those who claims that the Quran is not a timeless and universal guide for all Muslims, but merely a record of events in 7th century Arabia, in which case - fair point.

Don't know where you got that idea from? (Probably from the same place that you get your information on the nature of Islamic ideology). My position on Islam has always been clear and unambiguous. It contains much that is violent, intolerant and oppressive, but unlike other religious texts, it is claimed by all its followers to be the perfect, universal, timeless and unchageable actual literal word of god - as acceptable and applicable today as it was 1400 years ago. Because of this, it is irrelevant how many peaceful or tolerant passages there are until Islam has been through its own enlightenment and reformation and Muslims are able to reject and condemn the bad stuff without being led to believe that they are committing a real and genuine sin, with repercussions.

You seem confused. There are many threads about Islam and Muslims that I do not comment on. My work is mainly the challenging and correction of misrepresentation and mendacity. Your indulging in ill-thought ad homs does not detract from that.

I think you finally understood what was going on and how your arguments were invalid

What about ukipophobia?

You?

And that is why you are lashing out now?

These exams have got you so stressed, it's hilarious to watch you fall apart.

Because it's a global game.....

Big countries look at them see the religion and population grow, they stick to whatever they believe (which means it's easier to anger them) in comparison to western countries.

it's like bullying, but not your usual school bullying, it's on bigger scale, something like,

West: we are not allowed many things in our religion, but we don't care, we do whatever we want, do the same
Islam: No thanks, we are good, we like to practise whatever we want
W: Eat this pig with alcohol
I: No
W: Do it, or you will regret
I: NO!
W: Lets start a war over there, and make it look like its their fault...
W: Lets video something half fake half true, and show it to whole world
W: Islam, you should have eaten that pig!


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

Ironically enough, that in itself is an assumption. I don't, in fact, assume I'm right. I'm happy to be persuaded by rational argument. That I don't class insults as that does not mean I always assume I'm right. That would run counter to the whole idea of critical thought and free inquiry.



More insults. Case getting stronger by the minute.



That's very much up for debate.



Nor have I, or anyone else, asked you to.



I could, but the argument that you're advancing makes it unnecessary to do so. Any word could sound similar to any other word in a different language - by your logic, perpetual silence is the least offensive course of action, because that way you eliminate the chance of uttering a harmless English word that has a similar-sounding offensive counterpart in another language (including your approved spelling 'Muslim', which could mean something offensive in a language other than Arabic).

(And this is without accounting for sign language, which would necessitate perpetually keeping out of sight of others by the logic you're using.)



Of course not. Sarcasm.

I stand by what I wrote. Your knowledge of language and how it is used is woeful.

AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAH THIS IS TOO GOOD

Oh my days ahahahaha, too much bants.

Exams not got me stressed. You got me in bants is whats happening ahahahahahahahahahhaahhahaha.

Like I said, it's ok your life is a toilet, pick yourself up and you can still change bby. Unless you are a "tool" OOHHHHHHHHH GET REKTGqb\szxk k saosa[wdHpfsxlkjc YOU MAD BROROROROROOOOOOOOOOOO???? WHY YOU SO MAD? ISSSSSSSSSS ONLY A GAME BROOOOOOOOOOO? WHY YOU HEFF TO BE MADDDDD???

Don't think anyone has ever spouted more ******** than this post right here on this site.

Is that why you resorted to calling me a troll?
