| #2 With this statement Valls, a French socialist is stepping off the territory of political correctness by fundamentally denying the legitimacy of mainstream Islam's complaint against free speech. He's making making baby steps and it remains to be seen if he'll dare to go further or retreat, but I think this is welcome news. Whoever complains about 'islamophobia' equates the normalcy of a free and open society and the normal operation of the free marketplace of ideas with a disease. Logically the complainant intends to eradicate the disease (and free and open society) by making specific ideas, the principles of theocratic Islam, sacrosanct. Any complaint about 'islamophobia' thus should immediately discredit the complainant. Debating him would be pointless because he is complaining about the very fact that any debate is possible and legal. |

| #1 ???? Thanks for the clarification. So if I criticize some tin hat drooling illiterate goat fucking Imam for his fanatical views on Islam, I am not an islamophobe? But if I criticize a Middle Easterner for believing in Islam I am??? I'll stick to the first and focus on the drooling tin hat goat fucking Imam contingent in Islam. |
