The Case for Islamophobia: I am an Islamophobe, & You should be One, too
Robert Spencer — December 7, 2017
For years I have denied the label “Islamophobe,†because it is most commonly used to refer to people who have an irrational bigotry or hatred toward Muslims, and I don’t. I am not the “bad†kind of Islamophobe who wants any innocent people, Muslim or non-Muslim, to be victimized. Instead, I am what I would call the “good†kind of Islamophobe, someone who is honest enough to call a problem a problem, even when the whole world wishes to ignore and deny its existence.
The problem with most analyses of Islamophobia is that they tend to condemn under the same rubric of bias and bigotry any analysis of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims. Just this week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to a question from opposition leader Andrew Scheer about the security threat posed by returning ISIS jihadis, not by addressing that threat, but by accusing Scheer of “Islamophobia†for raising it.
