Islamophobia is on the move. What's next banned Muslim businesses?
To go back to the topic on the guy from NPR - it is not irrational to be uneasy around a group of people of whom some of them are trying to kill you.
Heck, even Chris Rock admits that when he goes to an ATM he's not worried about a white guy robbing him, he's worried about a (black guy) robbing him. Does that make him a
blackophobic to you?
At the same time, when I've been off to play in the sandbox I'm not worried about the Ba'hai, Christians, Zorastrians(sp?), Buddhists, and, frankly, I'm not all that worried about the Shiite Muslims. I'm worried about the Sunni Muslims and even when I've been on patrol with a supposedly trustworthy local troop I make for danged sure that I've got someone assigned to watching that guy lest he turn on us...and that's
happened.
Cripes - the Shiites I knew in Iraq were afraid of Sunni Muslims...does that make
THEM Islamophobic? I guess with you it does.
