Why we can never lump anti-Islamism or Islamophobia with racism & general bigotry.
Without condoning violence of any kind, let's not have a blurry picture on the most understandable feelings in the west.
Whether it's in Denmark, Netherland, Russia, UK, Australia or US, heck! even France, we can not let the unique intolerance to those that are intolerant to all of us be lumped into 'any racism' or just 'any bigotry'.
What's different about Islamophobia than "general pure racism" that there are so many ( http://thereligionofpeace.com ) serious LEGITIMATE reasons (global victims) behind anti-Islamism.
It has more to do with a legitimate fear for safety for all of us, for those around us & for the world as a whole.
Another aspect why CAIR & it's appeasers are totally out of touch with reality.
In an age where PC rules everything, and I do mean everything for everyone everywhere, stating what is true and actually can be verified by facts, is taboo. It is not only taboo, it can land one in jail with millions in lawsuits slapped on by activist judges, idiot juries and the ACLU.
You misstate the concept of "sincerity" for these and other like-minded folks. They lack sincerity as defined by any dictionary - they are committed to their own ideology which would even require force to the point of death to accomplish their ultimate goal - witness Soviet Union, China, North Korea, and all other such like-minded driven societies.
You stand corrected that they are against morality.
