Author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali said that calling people Islamophobic is “a way of shutting up debate” on Monday’s “Kelly File” on the Fox News Channel.

Hirsi Ali argued that calling people Islamophobes is “a way of shutting up debate. And I want to give a shout out to a friend Asra Nomani, who did a fantastic piece on it in the Washington Post…she calls it the honor brigade. It is, and it’s been going on for at least over a decade, there are countries involved, there are movements involved, there’s a lot of money. Anybody who tries to draw attention to the shortcomings of the theology the narrative of jihad, is labeled an Islamophobe, and that needs to stop.”

Like Homophobic, the Left Wing finds a new one, Islamophobic. No one is afraid of these people. But if you don’t like them, the phobia line come out. I could point out that most Left Wingers are Christophbic and heteorophobic, just to turn the tables around

It’s not Islamophobia if they really are killing off and “ethnically cleansing” whole populations as they move in and occupy territory. It is a good healthy response to an existential threat.

We already know the rules of engagement. Take no prisoners....

If you disagree with Obama on any of his issues you are a Racist. The Muslim brotherhood here in America is using the same tactic to intimidate all who disagree with Islam and Sharia law....doesn’t climate change/global warming also come under this intimidation? Look where Political Correctness has taken our courage to be honest in speech, writing, even in our thoughts PC can make one feel guilty....’an that ain’t right!!!

They act like calling someone a “whatever-phobic” is the bad thing.
Hell, I’m proud of my various ‘-phobics’

Am I homophobic? Yes I am... so?
Am I islamaphobic? Yes... so?

I am all of the -phobics. Now what?

What the HELL is he talking about?! We are not ALLOWED to debate. We cannot have an adult conversation about anything anymore. We have entered into the Dark Ages again in many ways.

The problem I have is that because lying is an accepted part of Islam, I never know if this reform talk is sincere or just another trick to throw us off guard. If there really are “moderates” who feel this way, they need to understand that trust has to be earned. And their track record stinks.

The leader of Turkey said that there is no moderate Islam. Just Islam.

Yes, and that’s what I go with. They have a 1500-year record of terror and treachery that speaks louder than anything else.

That’s not “Islamophobia”, that’s Islam’s founding documents talking!

There are too many illegal alien xenos in this country who suffer from severe cases of Honkophobia.
