ISLAMOPHOBIA: EMBRACE IT AND PASS IT ON!
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/26/17 | Dave Merrick

Islamophobia is a good fear. Get it! Spread it!

Some fears are good. Today we live in a world of tv-zombified simpletons who don’t recognize the wisdom that grew from the analogy of a youngster touching a hot stove. The punch line that flowered from that tiny proverb, of course, is that the child learned the hard lesson of not touching whatever experience warned him not to touch. Simple enough.

A couple of decades ago a very popular ad campaign generated enough two-worded bumper stickers to make any teenager on earth deathly afraid of admitting to having any fear. Living with unfounded fears is not good, certainly. But dismissing or ignoring the fears that keep us alive and healthy is just as bad or worse. The hangover from that stupid anti-fear trend gave us a crowd of people today who truly don’t understand the very legitimate value of caution. No, these days the quickest way to get the world to line up for and fully support ANYTHING is to put the word ‘phobia’ behind whatever is being promoted. Everyone then cringes at being the target of ridicule that will be aimed at the ‘phobes’.

Islamophobia is a misnomer. At least for me.

I do not fear Islam. I detest it, eschew it in all its forms and will do what is necessary to eradicate it if it enters into 'my sky'.

*slam is a world-domination ideology that uses violence to achieve its ends. It needs to be feared, and eliminated.

A phobia is an irrational fear.

It is not irrational to fear evil.

Islam is evil.

A phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear of something. Fear (or loathing) of Islam is not IRRATIONAL.

You suffer from Islamomisia, a REVULSION of islam, same as I do.
I learned that word from another FReeper.
There are others I also have a “misia” about. Phobias are not the problem.
