VIENNA, Austria -- A German Muslim says his neighbors suspect he is making weapons in his mosque.
An Austrian believer complains some dog owners set their pets on her when they pass her on the sidewalk.
Such acts of "Islamophobia" are on the rise across Europe, where many Muslims are menaced and misunderstood -- some on a daily basis -- the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia warned yesterday in a new report.
[...]
Since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, many of Europe's nearly 13 million Muslims feel "they have been put under a general suspicion of terrorism," Winkler said.
[...]
Last week, Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain called tolerance one of the "essential values" of his nation and denounced "hatemongers, whatever their race, religion, or creed."
[...]
Muslims are often "disproportionately represented" in unemployment statistics, and many lag behind the European mainstream in education and housing conditions, the report says.

Carla Amina Baghajati, a German-born convert to Islam who serves as spokeswoman for Austria's Islamic community, said she was unnerved by inflammatory comments posted on Web forums yesterday suggesting Muslims have brought their troubles upon themselves.

Aristerophobia or rather misaristery (like misogyny).
Easy there. I didn't call for violence.
No sense to get into name calling, care to apologize?
My statement was that there is NOT a rash of hate crimes (including violent punches) being waged against muslims (provoked or unprovoked).
Amen!
The Boston Globe is known for publishing BS.
An activist provided them with some porn site photos which had appeared in the Arab Street media (Egypt and others) as evidence that American troops were raping Iraqi women (this was about the time of Abu Ghraib).
The photos had already been exposed as fakes and denounced by the State Department when the Boston Globe chose to publish them as fact.
This is the chain of command for the Globe apparently. Liberal activists speak louder than "words".
They know about it, but it appears they don't know what to do. I know a few Moslems and they don't seem to be the type to be militant or even express a strong opinion on anything, not even the weather. They are very mild people. It is starting to look like they simply are dismayed and wish it would stop. That won't be happening, so this is going to take a long time and eventually it might come to a head or might get killed off. If a strong leader emerges amongst these mild creatures it would be surprising, but it's possible.
Is it correct?
I agree with you 100%. They can ALL go back to their own desert and heard camels for the rest of their lives for all I care. I'm sick and tired of hearing they're going to destroy America and kill us all.
it's not all a bad thing. Thanks to them, Americans are better armed than they have been at any point in history, and that's a good thing. Hopefully, the idiots in DC will understand that < before > they try to disarm us so they can implement their one world government.
Want to put the fear of God into them? Tell the Muslims that beginning tomorrow they will be treated exactly like Jews are treated in Islamic countries. That should terrify them.
Madrassas are grinding out hordes of islamic 'scholars' to serve mankind. /s
I prefer the term Islamohysteria for those Islamowhackos.
This pairs nicely with Russophobia!
I agree with you 100%. And, I am a Christian.
BWA HA HA!
That's a great tagline!
Heh!
Sorry bucky! The problem is that people are beginning to understand all too well what Islam is all about -- and they don't like it one bit.
Dang! Too much tagline text
Conservative America! New for the 21st Century, but still the "Land of the Free" * and "Home of the Brave!" **
*Certain rules and restrictions apply. Religious freedom subject to change if non-Christian. Individual association with any Islamic-centered religion may void any and all freedoms at any time. Citizens are advised that partial or full ethnicity stemming from Middle-Eastern areas may lead to persecution despite lack of evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
**Brave not to be construed to mean "tolerant".
You are going to be suspected as you pray loudly in a foreign tongue. You are going to be suspected as you dress in medieval fashion.
You have taken up brotherhood with murderers and terrorists. Although you may be innocent, you are judged by your tribe, and by your tribe you will be known.
Au contraire..........there's been an incredible rise in infidelphobia.
