The real concerning issue is the rise of the MYTH of Islamophobia and a bunch of other phony phobias.

A "phobia" is an irrational fear. Obviously that's not an accurate representation of the prevailing sentiments toward the cult of Islam. Loathing and hostility, yes. Rational fear, sure. But not phobia.

Libs sure love to (mis)use that suffix in defense of their favorite protected groups.

It’s bs like this coming from Comey’s mouth that makes me think he’s bought and paid for and will let Hillary walk.

Exactly. Where I’m from, fear of being blown up or beheaded by crazed zealots is a completely rational fear, and the more attacks they commit, the more everyone recognizes how rational it is.

But the beheading, ethnic cleansing and gang rapes don’t make it on the radar

Just one more incompetent government bureaucrat. The problem with this one is that his attitude could cost many American lives. I wonder what his attitude is on Islamic Terrorism. Is that not what he and his forces should be concerned about? What am I missing here?

Perhaps if his boss recognized ISLAMIC TERRORISM, we could work on fighting that enemy and reduce this alleged “irrational fear”.

For as long as ISLAMIC TERRORISM remains a problem, fear of Islamists remains RATIONAL!!!

So, the rise of political Islam is of no concern?

James Comey is living proof that; given a glass navel to peer out of, a man can live with his head up his ass indefinitely.

Ironic isn't it? That the guy who coined the term Islamophobia says that he got it all wrong?

Twenty years ago he mistakenly thought that Muslims would assimilate. ‘Islamophobia’ Author Admits: ‘I Thought Muslims Would Blend into Britain… I Should Have Known Better’

FBI Director: Rise of Islam is a ‘concerning issue’

This is the correct statement.
