Islamophobia.....where?

Website title:

...this is the legacy of Hitchens...and the work of Maher and Harris too and,so sad to say it, Richard Dawkins. By presenting their case that something in Islam, something about Muslims, is what is behind the violence of some Muslims against the West, they have given sustenance to Islamophobia.

...for the umpteenth time; Muslims and nominal Muslims who are fighting against the West are not doing it because Muhammad told them to....just as Christians didn't drop atom bombs on Japan because Jesus said to do so....we dropped those bombs on innocent women and children because Japan MADE WAR ON US....had nothing to do with Christianity.

...for the same reason Muslims are pissed because we have backed Israel in its crimes against the Palestinians, because we attacked Iraq based on obvious lies, because we have worked for decades to destabilize that region and prop up corrupt kings and tyrants...THAT's the reason they're pissed and have had enough....the proof is that for 200 years before the war on Iraq, there was nothing like this in the Muslim world....if Muhammad told them to, why weren't they listening before the Gulf War?

...cause and effect.....you see a hammer flying at a window and striking it...next thing you know the glass shatters into thousands of pieces...a reasonable person would say the person who threw the hammer at the window caused the glass to break....Maher would say it was the Muslim who married the sister of the man who threw the hammer...that's about the depth of the debate.


...Maher says he isn't Islamophobic, just "realistic", that Muslims GIVE us good reason to fear them. What was there to fear in this kid and his clock?...how would he explain why this Muslim kid who was arrested for being "smart while Muslim" if NOT for the simple fact that the kid is Muslim? He's a reasonable, rational person, why does he think this kid was arrested and not the white kid with the nuclear reactor? What was it if NOT the kid's religion?

A phobia is an unreasonable fear...so maybe Maher and Hitchens aren't unreasonable, but their rhetoric and poor sense of history fuels apparently "bright" people like teachers and school administrators to act in this way.

...what saves us so far is the number of truly reasonable people who look at this and see the absurdity of all Maher and the rest say...and support this kid and others like him.

..Hitler didn't "save" Germans...he ruined them even while he was singing their praises...he had them killed and raped and divided their country....Maher isn't keeping us safe either...this Muslim kid will. He'll say it isn't his job to keep anyone safe...his job is to be funny...what a sad profession.
