The term "Islamophobia" is nowhere defined in the resolution.

The word phobia seems to be used to denote some sort of hatred. It might be just me. but I use a dictionary definition of phobia.

An extreme or irrational fear or aversion to something.

Simply put, if one has phobia and does not commit any offence because of it - why make it a crime? I have a fear of vast heights, I believe called Acrophobia. I found that out when I could not walk across a glass walkway to a precipice. People chatted and laughed as they carried on. House on the Rocks, Wisconsin.

One can imagine certain people(the usual suspects) sneering and talking in a contemptuous way. Their target is the effete Canadian appeasers- those politicians who voted for the bill. Feeding the crocodile, hoping it will eat you last. (attributed to Winston S. Churchill). Excuse the rant.

Have a look at El Caminito del Rey.
