The term “Islamophobia” gets used pejoratively against conservatives. I think appropriate fear of Islam is different than some glib term of accusation. In 2005 Dr. Althea Horner and I had extensive discussions and collaboration about the psychology of terrorists, the role of women in Islam, and the mothering process of Muslim Arab boys.
We observed that strict Islam gives fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons the right to punish, even kill, a woman if she in essence wounds their narcissism, especially if defying male religious authority in a public way -- the so-called “honor killings.”
The Koran and Islam seem to view women psychologically as essentially the possessions of men. This subsequently acts as part of the cultural background for the rearing of male children. It then is likely that the mothering of boys, more by women than not, will carry overtones of the envy and resentment and even fear they feel toward the domineering male, be it their fathers or their husbands or their adult sons.
It is likely that the mothering of a woman with similar negative attitudes towards males will also be tinged with such envy and, hence, unconscious levels of resentment, if not downright hostility towards a son.
As a consequence of such subtle maternal rejection and outright negativity, their sons will grow up with a reservoir of repressed anger that will find its outlet in that which is provided by the Koran and thus by their culture. With such empathy-deficient fixation at a narrow level of development, ego development in its fullest sense is compromised and life is dominated by the motives associated with a more brittle, rigid male gender identity and less capacity for empathy. This could allow some Muslim youths to be recruited for terrorist activity and violence.

It is very simple. Islam is evil. Period.
Any statement having “phobia” in it is a sure sign that the statement has no substance and was made by a person with questionable believability. Now, with respect to the religion of pieces, well, it has its own multi-volume of history to show what it really is about.
Fundamentalist Islam is EVIL, period.
The greatest deceit of the Devil, is not convincing man that he does not exist, but was convincing man that he is God... Islam is the execution of that deceit.
ISLAM, Fundamentally is SUBMIT or DIE... period. That’s their theology... It is utterly incompatible with Christianity and Judiasm, and its ludicrous to claim it builds upon them... It does not.
Jesus died for your sins, Mohammed killed you for them.
When Peter took up his sword to protect Jesus, Jesus told him to lay it down... When the powers that be came for Mohammed he told his followers to die to protect me.
Fundamentalist Islam is utterly incompatible with western civilization.... it is beyond ludicrous that anyone believes otherwise.
There is no live and let live in fundamentalist islam, you either convert, sumbit or die... period.
A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
Islam is EVIL and needs to be eradicated.
Fear Islam, laughable. It is a fake religion. Fear the sand whack zealots, no, not them either. Plenty of ammo.
My only fear is the communist s who complain about Israel. Let them finish the job and wipe out Hamas………and anyone who supports them
A better word is Islamomisia, a REVULSION of all thins islamic.
Aslo works for transphobia and homophobia. Do they frighten you? Of course not The word TRANSMISIA and HOMOMISIA, a REVULSION of both are far better words.
I learned that from a FReeper years ago.
Islam vs islimeist...
“A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill”
Elegantly, clearly worded, widely believed observation. Thanks for posting it.
The article linked to, by contrast, might reach the same conclusion but is poorly worded.
While there may be a little truth to what he wrote, overall it is wrong.
In bookstores is a very expensive, beautifully bound in green leather Holy Quran. If one was going to give a gift to someone, like a president, or any other high "ranking" person in society, it is what you would buy.
Every page was in Arabic on the left side, and English on the right. The English side was just like the other modern ones, all the "bad" stuff left out.
I have a non Muslim friend who is fluent in spoken and read Arabic. I asked him to come to the bookstore with me, because I was too cheap to buy the book.
I pointed out the sura I mentioned, and a few others, plus there were some he was familiar with he wanted to check. (he had spent quite a few years in Saudi-Arabia as a civilian). I have never seen the expression that came on his face before. Absolute shock.
He had only seen true versions before too. He said, "My God, they are two different books". I remember those exact words. I don't remember the rest of his comments word for word, but he went on to say, that this explains why so many people in our government have the wrong idea about Islam.
Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Quran or Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.
IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.
The most fearful aspect of Islam is their ability and duty to lie and deceive anyone in the name of furthering Islam. They cannot be trusted to set aside their religion.
I think the Islamic term that refers to what you just described is TAQIYA
I watch a lot of true crime shows and many of them deal with sexually sadistic crimes such as violent rapes, assaults and murders; the attacks, rapes and murders in Israel have all the hallmarks of this sort of crime.
The extreme hatred of women is the root at the base of the spine of these atrocities.
(It would be very interesting to see what a profiler would say about this phenomenon.)
Women are property in the arab world, period... they are chattle.
Some people have a mental disease called oncophobia. It is when you are afraid of dying of cancer. There is also a disease called autophobia which is when your fear of being killed by an oncoming car forces you to look both ways before crossing the street.
