Quoted from pezpunk:Just because racism and Islamophobia are widespread, that's no reason I have to accept it.
Quoted from pezpunk:seeing lots of thumbs down and zero attempts to refute anything i've said.
I'll take the your bait. Islamophobia is not real. A phobia is an irrational fear. People have good reason to be afraid of Islam. Here's a website that tracks Islamic terror acts: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=Last30
As you can see during the last 30 days 1168 people have lost their lives in 177 Islamic terror attacks. We're two days into Ramadan and the death toll is already over 80.
As others have correctly pointed out, Islam is not a race.
