Let's take a look at the definition of phobia:
| pho·bi·a n.
|
A phobia is an irrational fear. I so happen to a have a rational fear of Muslims. Who has been committing terrorist attacks against civilians in the past thirty years? (Excepting the IRA), Muslims. Who has a lock on barbarity ('honor' killings, forced female circumcision, torture)? Muslims. Who commits murder over a cartoon? Muslims. Yet we have the phobia.
Perhaps the Arabs have a phobia. Let's call it Westernophobia or Chritainaphobia. The Saudis will not any let Christian proseltyze in their land. If Islam is so great, what are they worried about? If Christianity is bunk, no one would convert anyway. Call Islam barbaric and any Muslim would go nuts. But how do they explain honor killings and the fact that under Sharia a woman's testimony in court in one fourth that of a man? If they are so strong in their faith, why not debate these points rationally as opposed to more murder and mayhem. If Islam is such a wonderful religion, why riot and kill over a few cartoons?
Perhaps arabs and Muslims are suffering using Projection as a crutch to help with their phobias. Why do we keep playing their games?
When it comes to the ports, I only have to look at pictures of the World Trade Center collapsing to know: Once bitten, twice shy.

"my fundamental point that as a whole Muslims are very hypocritical."
You didn't make that point on thsi post, you simply, and ignorantly, slurred a tremendous number of people, presenting them as somehow uniquely evil. And that kind of rhetoric is the rhetoric to fear, as it is the route to eliminationism. Ask Goebbels
"Call Islam barbaric and any Muslim would go nuts. But how do they explain honor killings and the fact that under Sharia a woman's testimony in court in one fourth that of a man?"
Yes I did. Additionally, I specifically mentioned that there are many decent Muslims, but the radicals ARE uniquely evil. They aren't much better than Nazis, just not as smart. They would do the same things the Nazis did if they had the power. The rest of them, like Germans of the 30s nod and cluck and smile at the firestorm which engulfs them.
I was tempted to quote Godwin's law, but I don't think it applies in this instance.
P.S. Thanks for reading my blog.
