I, for one do not possess Islamophobia - it is, rather, Islamoloathia.

By constantly reporting about acts of terrorism they are contributing to the rise of Islamophobia.

Can't Muslims ever take responsibility for anything? I've tired of trying to deal with them with reason. The left and Islamic radicals have proven they are incapable of reason.

So the Muslims are NOT really the Religion Of Peace? Gee and here I was thinking we're Islamophobes due solely to our fevered imagination!

Reason and truth are not possessed by liberals OR muslims. There are two kinds of apples in the muslim barrel, bad and totally rotten. All should be deported from the "store" by the most expedient means available.

So true. If the many acts of islamo-facism weren't reported by the media, people wouldn't be so worried about it.

So is the media also responsible for the other rational fears that people have.

By the way, "phobia" should always be challenged as it applies here with, "Excuse me, but phobia relates to irrational fears. There is nothing irrational about suspecting Muslims in relation to terrorism."

It's a cult of death and victim hood.

Islamic clerics promote isolationism and radical elements....

The segregate themselves in society on their own volition...

They are mostly silent to condemn radical acts....

What do they expect?

I'd believe it, except that it implies that they're doing their job for a change.

700,000 of them in London ??

Holy sh1t, is Britain ever in trouble down the road.

Phobia ?? Facts are facts. You can have a phobia about snakes but, the fact is, some snakes are poisonous and Momma Nature is entirely correct to build into our genes a wariness of snakes.

If that demonisation continues, then Britain will have to deal with two million Muslim terrorists

"If you don't stop calling us terrorists, we will become terrorists."

"Behead those who call Islam violent."

These clowns have no idea how absurd they are.
