Every criticism of Islam and refusing to tolerate it'S totalitarianism, inhumanity and aggressive drive, today get's brandmarked as "islamophobia" and "abuse of free speech".

It is as if criticising Neonazis would be labelled as an "intolerant attitude towards others" or a "democratic deficit" or "lacking respect for different views". Note: one offence against Islam's self-understanding weighs a thousand times heavier than a hundred offences against western culture and values. Or Naziphobia. Well, I am a proud Naziphobic. and if such is the meaning of being a phobic - essentially having a meaning that is so distorted that terms mean nothing anymore - I am a confessing, proud Islamophobic as well.

Short while ago, an egyptian woman was murdered by a real racist indeed in a German courtroom, he offended her over her skin colour on the street, and she sued him. Result: mass hysteria in many Islamic countries, for days and weeks. Attacks on the German government not bending over to present it's bare bottom for the spanking, and refusing to apologize. Apologise for what? But also short time ago a german man, who just had fled from a german prison, was stabbed to death on a street in istanbul. Reaction in the Muslim world: silence. - Some years ago, several Christian clerics and a nun, both Catholics and orthodox, were stabbed on open street in Turkey, Egypt and Syria, if I remember correctly. Reaction in the Muslim world: silence, here and there some silent lip-confessions, soon to be unheared again. - Or the Danish cartoon hysteria. - The islam-infiltrated UN comission on human rights, trying to enforce that criticism of religion in general and Islam in special becomes a crime and should be persecuted by law. - Ethnic and cultural minorities in Islamic nations constantly being reduced and driven back, in accordance with quranic demands getting constantly discriminated as well . But Islam in the West being supported, expanding, getting fostered like crazy, driving locals away in regions and towns throughout europe, because sometimes residents are so pissed by being expected to live in an enforced Islamised environment.

Sure, it's all islamophobia.

For some, the shortest way to silence unwanted opposing views is to claim they are xyz-phobia or simply racism (and at the same time ignoring the object of that opposing criticism). But that is no argument. That is rethorics exclusively, illustrating that there is a lack of argument.
