| West institutionalizing Islamaphobia |
| 2008-10-18 |
| Iran's foreign minister says the West is institutionalizing Islampophobia to pretend that Islam is an enemy that should be fought against. "Islamophobia is a theory developed in the West," Manouchehr Mottaki said in a forum under "Common World: Progress through Diversity" in Kazakhstan's capital, Astana, on Friday. "Following the collapse of the bi-polar system of the world, the liberal democrats tried to institutionalize Islamophobia as a theory in the West, because they wanted to indoctrinate the public opinion that there is a new enemy and that they should fight against it," IRNA quoted Mottaki as saying. "Islamophobia is a challenge for all, because the issue heavily influences international peace," Iran's top diplomat warned. He added that resolving global challenges needs a global partnership, which should bring all the world's countries including the Western and Muslim countries together. |

| #9 It ain't no phobia. It's a well thought out response to a bunch of lunatics that want to kill us. Let's call it what it really is, islamo-awareness. |
