Excellent Observation!

Islamophobia would definitely be rooted out of the society by making use of a holistic approach that treats the core of the disease rather than tagging each and every member of Muslim community individually and of course this would only be possible with the joint efforts of society as a whole.

nice to know this, if that is true!!! this is really a new awakening...and commendable. but suspicions will take a long time on both side to bridge the differences

no no no!!! I don’t believe this...they are the cats of the same bag and if out of millions,there are a few who do this, hardly matters. you surely put a new thing forth...but US policies and war against islam...difficult to believe...

islamophobia has no other side but only one and that is the bitter US attitude...are you really serious!!! this is merely an eyewash. where do you live give me the address I would like to talk and meet these people. surely do that and we will believe it when we will see it.

this is the wonderful illogic, isn’t it??? and only nonsense I expect from bush and his people and the so called Islamophobia. this is only the fault of those who coined the term and hold these beliefs. they are wrong headed people and those too who hold vehement anti-American beliefs are of course merely reacting to US foreign policies. there is only jugglery in this writeup but liked “here is a need to reach out to each other” I will surely call it the golden line, rest all is fiction of mind.

islamophobia is not word but a threat...and you gotta protect yourself...that’s perhaps every nation at large and every citizen in miniature will do... after 9/11 there gotta be a need for we ppl to protect ourselves...if islamophobia is a myth but then the war on terror has also been misinterpreted as war against Islam but is againt the fanatics in Islam who love violence...they love to kill...they like the boodbath...of course war on terror is defense and we are the aggressive americans for sure. we love to hunt the enemy in its own den...

well, after reading this, Hypocrisy and pandering are two words that pop up into my mind...One man’s blasphemy is another man’s abomination and this is what you name as US-muslim relationship. well hope for the common sense to prevail, if it comes...one know not when???

@ Reza

yea reza there are reasons for you not to trust this then would you let me know why should we trust the muslims who can do any damn thing in the name of disgusting Jihad...they can kill thousands of ppl in one day and lot more...why you want world to believe you ppl only why???????? have any good reason for that

Andrea

Andrea — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Yeah saeed got it right ” islamophobia has only one side” that is only the abhorred islamic thinking that is resulting in mess all the time... you guys do nothing different with your own ppl even how world can expect anything different from you all. just take the bhutto killings, mideast conflict shia sunni conflict... you have conflict within and with the rest of the communities of the world and still you blame west...Islamophobia is not a myth but there is a firm need for the world to realize the threat of the violent islam.

this may be the starting, not even the starting i would add, but the destination is too far with this. until and unless the Jihad blasphemy will not end nothing substantial can be expected for peace to be attained...@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Jeff

Jeff — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Wow!!! discussing “islamophobia”??? serious!!! lolzz...futile exercise of futile mind truly absurd waste of time. there is no serious talking with islamic idiots

who will hear nothing, see nothing, but will hear voices from Laden (the incarnation of Mohammad) and will start...they suck and those also who say they don’t...

Ahmed

Ahmed — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

islamophobia and US part in it! no answer,no guess, you know, I know so does everyone, it’s like 51st State? Where is it located? The muslims just don’t get it. the freedom of speech and to let muslims have their say is something that they will not part easily and more thy will suppress us, more they try to force us the louder we will get.

It’s just a brief analysis. But what it reveals, outweighs what self-appointed defenders of morality and religions state much of it littered with fear-mongering. Best of all, there are some hopes that can be seen here. we need to exploit this for the peace to prevail for the longer times but for that, every one got to put profit mongering aside.

Nice analysis....

Ur right @ the point that people (both wrong headed and right headed, in short extremists) exist on both the sides, generalizing it in the whole world...)but then those who can understand should keep out of such discriminations and perceptions....

Jonathan — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

The country is like a big cauldron where people from all civilizations cook the idea called the United States of America. Islamophobia is just a jargon and there is no substance in it other than to a minuscule minority of rabidly nationalistic and Christian ultra-conservatives.

This will go away very soon. A lot of Americans believe that it will go. Islamophobia is a temporary fad for some in my books, nothing more than that.

PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR TOLERANCE AND IN THE PROCESS THEIR MINDS TOO. THIS IS A MENTAL SICKNESS LIKE OTHER PHOBIAS.

Ahmad

Ahmad — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Lamine :-

I can’t agree more with you. It’s just a new mental illness. We are seeing all sorts of new diseases coming up every now and then. This is just one of them.

Good comment. Keep it up.

in many african conflict zones like that in uganda, muslims are afraid of christians. have u heard of the agenda-less terrorist rebel group called lord’s resistance army (lra)? they are fighting in northern uganda and sudan in the name of lord himself. there is a palpable CHRISTIANOPHOBIA in those regions.

Ahmed

Ahmed — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

well written and good observation. well done.

@ every moron who sez nonsense like the half wit Jeff.

Dont worry.... everything will come back to u.

muslims should make efforts to remove this fear because they have a very negative image

Shoeb

Shoeb — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Islam is a religion of peace. Those who are afraid of Islam are stupid.

why wouldn’t people suffer from islamophobia? after all it’s the terrorists who started killing in the name of islamic jehad and did something like 911.

Maha

USA isn’t actually doing a bad thing by chasing the terrorists all over the world. US is responsible to get Syria off Lebanon’s affairs.

Just grow your beard and put a turban on your head, wear your national dress – Pathani suit- and then observe the change in attitude in the people living near you. Then you will see the meaning of Ismophobia.

Ali

Ali — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

@ Amir I think you live in Utopian world. This is unbelievable that you are terming it Islamophobia. This is true that the whole world is against Islam.

Tan

Tan — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

You have gone mad..Why dont you change your religion?

Ali

Ali — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Zach has analyzed what is Islamophobia, Amir should read it again and again. A suggestion to you- apply for green card in US and dont try to go back to Afghanistan.

Visit India once and you will get an idea what Islamophobia is.

This is the Biggest phobia existing in the world... and whole non-Muslim world is the victim of this phobia.

Aree

You are either non-muslim or anti-muslim writing with a fake name. You have no no knowledge about Islam I suppose.

Sanyog

Sanyog — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Even Sikhs are facing the music of Islamophobia in US. And You are saying that You are Muslim and not facing such thing..this is real strange.

Janise

Janise — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000

Scott said it right despite being a Christian. You do what he said and feel the changed world in a moment.

Mark

On the other side of the coin you will find islamophobia again. Don’t waste your time, it is truth not phobia.

Durwood

Read all the comments. One common thread is evident. Religion is a form of compartmentalized thinking that necessarily excludes and restricts logic and reason, supplanting it with religious passion and fervor. Religious passions become sources of extreme viewpoints, paranoic defenses and ultimately lead to violence - whatever the religion. I don’t know of anyone who has ever started a war with a passion for logic and reason. Beware those thought systems that don’t prioritize logic and reason above all else.

Despite it’s flaws one of the truly beautiful things about the United States is it’s tolerance.

Oh, it may take us a while to get there (see history of women, blacks and gays) but we eventually do.

Islamophobia is incurable disease.
