What is Islamophobia?



That answers the question of what Islamophobia is, and who an Islamophobe is.  Many people say "I'm not scared I just don't like those ****** (insert derogatory term here)."  When I hear this, it makes me sick.  Yes, you are afraid.  Not only are you afraid, you are also ignorant, and an asshole.  Why would someone hate someone else on the basis of their religion?  I don't know.

I'm not a mother yet, but plan on being one in the next couple of years.  Even as a non-Muslim, I want my child to learn about Islam, so that they can understand the world and Earth's people better, and so that they can take with them some of the wonderful lessons Islam can teach anyone, regardless of your religion.
