#1 I understand enough about Islam to know that I don't like it. Does that make me islamophobic? maybe.

But why shouldn't people be afraid of an ideology whose adherents flew planes into buildings and blow themselves up in an attempt to kill us?

they are free to leave

#2 Our enemy and their supporters tend to make what is an islamic problem your psychological hangup. No matter that we are dealing with a bunch of 7th century psychopathic murderers with supremacist ambitions for the world.

#3 I think the bulk of America has a pretty good idea about Islam and knows a lot have chosen neutrality in the conflict of cultures waiting to see which side wins. Those ones are not all our enemy but they are also not our friends and we should not be bending over backwards for them unless they pick a side.

#4 So we are Islamophobic and so what? Islam is not something you are born with and can't do nothing about it. Islam is also an idea and the ideas of a person influence its actions.

I hate Nazism so according to the Islampohobic logic I am Naziphobic or more exacly an intolerant and eeeevil Naziphobic. Eisenhower was of German ascent but would have it been right to handle him the responsability of Overlord if he had kept a German heart or had he been a Nazi? If he had told, like many Muslims openly tell, his loyalty to Germany was stronger than his one to the United States?
