As the Israel-Hamas War rages and the crisis in Gaza deepens, Taher Herzallah said he has exchanged frantic messages on social media with his family members who are trapped in Gaza. Their description of the situation is grim. He said they’ve told him they have no food, electricity, water or fuel. (Snip) Herzallah said his concerns for his family thousands of miles away have also been compounded by a growing fear for the safety of his wife and children here in the US, as reports of attacks against people perceived to be Muslim or Palestinian surface across the country.

If you do not fear Islam you are irrational.

Maybe Bush will come out of his hidey-hole to reassure them that they are respected, welcomed, loved and cherished

It’s time to review a few things here about Muslims. I was appalled at George W. Bush when he called Muslims the “religion of peace.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Christianity spread to the world, first through the Apostles. You know them. Afterwards, it was the Catholic missionaries and others who spread the word, converting pagans. But how did Mohammedans do it? That’s what they were called back in the day. They did it by force, conquering peoples with their bloodthirsty armies. Mohammedanism, Islam or whatever you want to call it is a conquering religion and don’t anybody forget it. It was forced on people! It’s in the Koran, Mohammed's version of the Bible. By the way, if anyone brings up the Crusades and Christian armies fighting against the Arabs, it was the Mohammedans who attacked the Christian Holy Sites. Christian armies fought to take them back.

When a significant percentage of a Religion is radically violent can you really blame people looking on at children and innocent families slaughtered, burned alive, shot down and mutilated. It will probably not be the last time that such acts occur in the name of Islam. If Islam cannot control these elements, and the amount of celebrating over such savagery that was just seen around the world, makes me doubt there is any great will to control said elements, than we have every right to look askance at all followers of the Prophet. Born in Violence, grew in violence, what else can we expect from the "House of Peace"?

There wouldn't be any Islamophobia if these savages quit killing and mutilating people. We need to get them out of the West and the UN. They rule by terror. Democracy is not in their nature.

Well, I was wondering when the warnings of “ Islamaphobia” would start. CNN never disappoints. After every terror event in America, we get this BS about peaceful Muslims fearing a “backlash” that never happens. If we weren’t such a tolerant country, every mosque in the USA would have been burned to the ground after 9-11.
BTW, a “phobia” is an irrational fear of something. After 9-11, the Marathon bombing, the Pulse Nightclub slaughter and numerous other murders by Muslims, it’s quite rational to fear the adherents of Islam.

Muslims are classic schoolyard bullies. They push people around who they think are weaker than them. When they get their butts kicked, they start whining. It’s time to start pushing back hard against this medieval, murderous, mindless, misogynistic cult commonly referred to as “Islam.”

Backlash?!
What backlash?!
I must’ve missed all that backlash stuff.
As other posters have mentioned, I remember a former president kissing their collective behinds. But I’m not remembering any backlash.

We need to get these terminologies straightened out.
A phobia is an irrational fear of something.
An understanding of situations and logical conclusions derived of such observations are not phobias.
We are not Islamo-trans-homo-etc etc phobic. All these things produce events and situations that are the antithesis of peace and harmony.
As Churchill said
“Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog”
A valid analogy based upon his experience’s, also very easy for anyone with a pulse to understand.
So…
I am Islamo aware, trans aware, homo aware, etc etc-aware.

The fiction of rampant “Islamophobia” is still pushed? It was never widespread.
Now, Antisemitism by Muslims is, however, quite prevalent.

Bolstering #15, a "phobia" is defined as "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something."
So, "Islamophobia." I am not afraid of Islamists; I'd say I have a realistic caution. I will admit to an aversion, but my aversion is not extreme and is definitely not irrational.
I believe I met Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the Saudi who shot up Pensacola Naval Air Station, a couple of months before he killed three, injured eight there. I was giving a tour to an USAF-sponsored group of international trainees, so I had every reason to not expect anything (as would have been the expectation of the three dead, eight wounded. )
My demeanor was to be polite, but be reserved and cautious, and be alert -- for that tour and ones like it I have led since then. I didn't have hysterics, I didn't hide behind a desk, I made no provocative comments, but I kept an eye out for anybody pulling something out of a pocket. (Nobody was carrying anything externally.)
Would I have been able to do anything if somebody did have a weapon? Probably not - Inshallah, y'all.
Does that sound like Islamophobia?

Islam has been a cancer on humanity for 1,400 years. It is entirely incompatible with any modern, free society, in every possible way.

Fear of retaliation is a Muslim ploy, a device. They pulled the same thing after 9/11, publicly wringing their hands about what they feared would happen to them and yet not one word publicly uttered from more than 1 or 2 of them about their sorrow over innocents murdered that day in their name. The weak-minded among us fall for their lies every time but the strong can’t afford to listen to them. Appeasing Islamists, even so-called moderate ones, is a fool’s game. No matter how much compromise they’re afforded they give none in return and they always want more because their religion demands conquest at the point of a sword without mercy.

I want to add to the comment of No. 19. I agree that the suffix “phobia” is used incorrectly. A better term is Islamothrope, hatred or dislike of Islam. The same would apply to homo-, xeno-, etc., e.g. Islamothropic, homothropic, xenothropic. These are my made up words. A misanthrope, a real word, is a person who hates mankind.

Well muslims in Amerika, your thoughts about the +1,200 Israeli citizens who were shot, decapitated, chopped up and or burned alive? And what are your thoughts about your fellow muslims who carried out this atrocity against humanity in the name of Allah?

When an Islamic entity murders hundreds of people, and you dance in the streets in celebration, you are lower than dog vomit. Who in their right minds would WANT to associate with you?

When you act like monstrous savages, people are going to treat you like that because that is called self-preservation. Keep committing atrocities, but the thinkers among us are on to you. You would knife any Jew or Christian in the back and smile while doing it. We get it and we will not submit.

Thank you, thank you, #15, #19, #21. I have said for many years that I am not "phobic" about Moslems. I have an evidence-based opinion. Islam is particularly cruel to its own women.

The Prius with the COEXIST bumper sticker always makes me laugh. Presbyterians don’t kill Rastafarians. Zen Buddhists are just fine with Shintoism. Catholics aren’t murdering Jews. The Crescent of Islam demands convert or die. No other sect.
