Islamophobia is ugly stuff, or can be. But context counts. In
Egypt, a huge section of the overwhelmingly Muslim population resisted theocratic
domination by the Muslim Brotherhood to the point of calling in the army to
overturn it.
Is that Islamophobia?
I'm jewish. If I lived in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or even parts
of Brooklyn and the rabbinic establishment forbade me from driving or even
carrying groceries on Saturday —
not to mention telling my female friends how to dress on pain of being stoned —
and I resented the hell out of it, and demanded police protection, would that
make me anti-Jewish, a Semiteophobe?
The more separation between church and state the more
better.
