I look forward to Freepers' debunking of this article.

Christendom failed to liberate the Holy Land
Christians failed to read the Bible and tried to do the job Jesus will do all by himself.

Well, I am a little bit down on them for 9/11, beheadings and stonings, but maybe that is just me? LOL

The so called bigotry of Izzlum is 9-1-1. There is nothing else. Except maybe all those other bombings, head cutting offs, murder, rape, garbage that their gutter religion claims is soooooooooooooooo peaceful! Bull. It is a religion of utter murder. Written by a known pedophile. Yeah, what a guy to follow.

And here I thought the muslims showed their true colors as a result of the Crusades.

Funny, but I was never taught much about Islam. But in later years I observed their vicious treatment of others and the hideous treatment of their own women. So if you call a rational decision to oppose viciousness, cruelty and stone-age ignorance “bigotry” then so be it. I still oppose it.

Bigotry is an opinion held in the absence of
evidence.
Given the overwhelming amount
evidence the world has collected about the nature of Islam over the past 1400 years,
negative opinions of Islam are not bigotry.

This is an apologists puff-peace and just another chance for a Boston metrosexual to simply cry “Racist!” and “bigot!”

We surveyed Islam in Catholic high school religion class, in 1964. My impression was that is was presented as just another religion, that claimed to complete Christianity. In other words, Islam stood in relation to Christianity approximately were Christianity stood with respect to Judaism. It was not presented as in the least negative, simply another false religion like Hinduism or Lutherans, who needed to become Catholics.

Really, thsi is the best line...

See, this is why I disagree with FReepers who say that liberals are stupid. Obviously not. I'm impressed by the mental machinations and academic gymnastics required to come to any sort of conclusion this individual has.
To be willfully blind of the type of “civilization” the satanic suicide cult of mad mo has created especially in contrast to that of the civilized world, is impressive in it's very difficulty.
I, and many of us, are unable to ignore reality to this extent. And it's not just some parlor trick either- this takes amazing effort, training (in universities of course), and determination.
Bravo! Jim Carrol, you're a more skilled (self)-illusionist than most of us could ever hope to be!!!

And a 'phobia' is an irrational fear. Given what happened on 9/11, the term 'Islamphobia' is completely meaningless.

I could go on, literally with more pictures and events than FR has the bandwidth to include, but there is no need. The point is clear. The roots of Western caution have nothing to do with Charles Martel or with bigotry and everything to do with common sense and direct, personal experience.

The Boston Globe’s readers are doing a pretty fine job of debunking it themselves, in the comments section.
