No, I'm familiar with the terms.  Neither apply to legitimate criticism of Islam. 

 

99% of folks toss around the word xenophobia w/o a clue as to who Xenophon was. 

I wonder if the Greeks had any logical reason to...errr....fear...the Persian Empire...100 times its size.

Legitimate is the word you need to follow in that thread. Because both seem to regularly rear their ugly heads.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying there, but that notwithstanding, if you ever think my criticism of Islam is not legitimate, I'd welcome you making the point.

Defending Islam seems to have deteriorated into name calling and such as seen in the responses. I've asked what folks admire about Islam or to set me straight about how I have the Quran all wrong....but no responses in that direction are forthcoming, it seems.

Criticize the doctrine all you like, but don't take swipes at the people who may follow it. Otherwise you have to step back and take swipes at at  lot of white people in this country who follow Christianity.

You don't make the rules. Individual Muslims are most certainly open to criticism re: their murderous death cult.

I do, proportionally, I think.  I'm of the opinion that the people are the ones who deserve the swipes, if they are the ones who are applying the doctrine in a manner that merits such.

Yep, if you're a murderer you go to jail. At least you moved off race/religion confusion, hopefully.

You're free to be as confused as you like.

Islam and Christianity are from the same Asian desert.

Neither are races or skin colours as you continue to insist.

You must have been doing some serious reading to get caught up. Good for you.

Name calling and such...it's all you and others have to defend your beloved Islam from the Infidel.

Well...in person it would be a different story...no doubt. More options. No insulting the Prophet...PBUH.

People who step outside the law, regardless what color they are or what house of worship they may attend.

Hey, no argument there.  Like I said, I try to be proportional.  And of course, not stepping outside the law is pretty bad too, if the law is bad.

Nobody is above criticism. Certainly not Muslims just because they're Muslims.

It took you this long to arrive at that obvious conclusion?

I love Toronto too, lived there for a few years. There were 2 dozen or more food takeout places on my 10 min walk home, from everywhere in the world. And polite, kind people. 

I like where I am now too. Check this out:

That's a good social experiment.  It's interesting how the mob mentality takes over over and even leads to left wing violence when one guy voices an opinion.  Not really suprising though.

Europe seems to excel at fooling people to immigrate there from the ME only to chew them up and spit them back. - Eyeball


Unfortunately our policies have contributed to retarding and limiting their (Muslim's) society's natural progression towards the same enlightened state we take for granted. - Eyeball

It's not just hatred.  It's cowardice too. 

If you're okay with it, so be it.

What are you blathering on about?

You're just not making any sense.
