If the US, UK, and Europe - the entire west - decided to send drones into Canada, bomb targets that they deem terrorist threats. Innocent civilians, women and children die in the process. What would the result be?
There are generations of kids that have grown up - never knowing what peace is. Much of that is caused directly or indirectly by what we deem "the good guys". Put yourself in the middle of a war zone (I don't think you could personally), raise your children in it. Would you be upset, want revenge? I think you would.
This war on terror, call it whatever you want, is a holy war started by George Bush Junior. Islamaphobia? I'd be more scared of Christian ideals personally.

Very Good Question
It's a diversion. I have some really great Muslim friends.
But they warn me about fundamentalists. They are concerned as well.
Just read up on this article that explains the root cause of the fear and see at the end of the article how you feel. Everyone will have a different view but this article helps understand your question.

Yes. I would want revenge on the dictator that had been shooting his mouth off about killing leaders of other countries and gassing his citizens. And the Iraqi's got it. They hung him I believe.

Def: dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims
Basically, if you aren't a racist a-hole, it is nothing you need to worry about. If, on the other hand, you are then you may want to learn what the word means.

How many God fearing christians on here are screaming to nuke the middle east? Wipe them off the face of the earth? Is that a christian ideal?
If you're Christian, you believe in a God. Muslims believe in a god. The ideals probably don't coincide. And Christian history isn't pretty, steeped in blood, war and it's still going on today.
Do you really believe that the war on terror has nothing to do with religion?

Do some historical research on the Ba'ath party. Yeah, Hussein deserved what he got, but where did he come from and how did he assume power?

Oh you don't know? The entire NT theme is based on "love your neighbour as yourself". Now THATS scary! Or maybe "bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse", or maybe even "above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins"........ Those crazy Christian ideals... Keep them far away!
Islamaphobia is just another leftist ad hominem buzzword, much akin to "fascist/white privilege/bigot/etc." designed to silence someone (usually someone capable of using logic and objectively critiquing another worldview) with different beliefs or convictions.

First...though I do not in any way agree with what radical Islam is all about...so few here have an actual grasp of what's got us here.
"is a holy war started by George Bush Junior"...give me a break. Why do so many people think that if it didn't happen in their lifetime it never happened.
George Bush Jr is just one in a long line of the west's (including France and England's) handling of the mid-East.
How about all the promises we made to Arabia and others in WWI if they helped us defeat the Turks...promises we never kept. Instead of (as we promised) helping the Muslim states self govern themselves, we set up borders that benefited France, England and the US.
How about how we promised to help these countries and then stood idly by when the Turks slaughtered millions of Armenians in what was in actuality the first 'holocaust'.
How about after WWII we rewarded the Jews with Israel...and be damned with all the Muslims that had lived in the area for a thousand years.
How about France in Algeria.
How about...I could go on and on.
Again...in no way do I condone what is happening now...but I can sure as heck see why it is.
The old...you reap what you sow is very applicable to our current situation.

Why do you think they hate Christians? Christian nations bombing them? The US is predominantly Christian. Do you like Islam - or do you hate it? Do you fear it? Why?
Nobody is forcing you to be tolerant, they can pass laws all they want, you don't have to follow them.
If religion would disappear, this world would be a far better place to live in.

A crock of horse manure, used to justify the Human Rights Commission's kangaroo court!!!!! It is a new word that keeps the "progressive" busybodies have seized on to over accomodate a particular religious sect that they now sympathize with to throw more of our tax money at. My muslim acquaintances find the word to be a joke!!!!

All wars have basically holy wars, war on terror is just another crusade.
Just hope Trump starts pulling back.

I believe this term has been created because of people's concerns or fears of the unknown. There seems to b a fine line between acceptance, tolerance and people's values being threatened.

arachnophobia is fear of spiders.
Claustrophobia is fear of small or confined spaces
Acrophobia is a fear of heights
so... Islamaphobia?
Fear of a specific religion.

Islamophobia = the good ole' boys. The flea market on Sunday. The wrong kind of Conservative.
I'm totally new to this, haven't even hunted yet and with how unwelcoming some hunters are I could only imagine what a refugee or immigrant is feeling if they wanted to partake in this great Canadian activity.
Unless I'm surrounded by AK toting masked nutjobs, I do not fear Islam one bit.

Read on McDuff, lots of it on here.
Religious fanaticism? How about brainwashing kids from a very young age to believe that there is only one God, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me". Or that the world is only 5000 years old and we all came from the genetics of one man and one woman.
That's how I was raised. At some point, I started thinking for myself. Christians are fanatical. Look at the KKK, recent history. And there are plenty of Christian fanatic groups around the world today.
I don't fear religion. There is good and bad in every culture, race, creed etc - including whites.
