Can someone explain Islamophobia to me?

[BaMamma]

I don't think I have an irrational fear of Muslims, but I think I have a reasonable concern about radical Islam, does that make me Islamophobic?

Why are they not relevant? Everybody seems to end up here…

Because it raises the average IQ of each country.

It's an old article, but I think still relevant - How millions of violent Muslim deaths feed the cycle of terrorism

This one is slightly more recent - Islam and the Patterns in Terrorism and Violent Extremism

How do you figure that one out?

Those headlines themselves are enlightening and do absolutely nothing to persuade that Islamophobia is irrational 😅

Yes, every civilised society needs an influx of the brainwashed 🙄

Here’s a report that packages it up nicely, from a centre US think tank. Top of the Google results ;) https://www.csis.org/analysis/islam-and-patterns-terrorism-and-violent-extremism

Ooh, love a passive aggressive smiley!

That's offensive.

The U.K. via its organisation TransparencyInternationalUK does grade levels of corruption in the countries of the world, and unsurprisingly places itself in the top 20 for least corrupt. No conflict of interest or cultural bias there.

I don't have any particular views about you as a Muslim, as long as you are not radicalized or fully veiled in public. Are you? If you are, I'm fascinated, what motivates you to become invisible, are you allowed to speak, how do you feel about that?

The delusion is real 😂

Sorry, but it’s not hard to find. And generally, this ‘scarcity of information’, ‘things that are too complex to understand’ posts are often right out of the playbook of bad actors, though I’m sure you’re in earnest.

Do you need a clue ?

I support your right to be offended

If I understand your post regarding IQs correctly, I have to say don't dish it out if you can't take it.

That report seems somewhat distorted to me. In the first few paragraphs it minimised the threat of islamists to populations in the west but completely disregarded other religious groups the world over. Aren’t Christians the most persecuted in the world? If you’re looking at radical Muslims vs Christians in the west then yes, it’s of coursed dwarfed by Muslim on Muslim violence. But worldwide? I stopped reading because those stats seemed to have been ignored.

Thank you.
My offence has been noted and perhaps (though unlikely) you will desist.

The definition given by @BaMamma is incomplete. Islamophobia is not just a fear. It is also hostility and prejudice.

As per its definition.

Oh, come on, if you want to bait us, surely we're allowed to bait you too ?

I consider all organised religion to be brainwashing if that takes the sting out.

I fucking hate the degradation of women in Afghanistan and Iran. Does this make me an islamophobe?

Behold, the world produces a report that provides you with this information.
reliefweb.int/report/world/global-terrorism-index-2024

Over 6000 people died in Burkina Faso alone last year. Over 400 attacks in Pakistan. The Sahel is the fastest growing place for extremist terror attacks. You just don't hear about them.

You know that Muslim majority countries have counter-terrorism police for just this reason? Of those 6000 people in Burkina I think about 5000 were military. They're not exactly thrilled.

What other religions prescribe face coverings for women?

Well Wikipedia references a study from 2016 saying 80% to 90% of victims of Islamic terrorism are Muslim.

the warnings are not about Islam they are about Islamic terrorism. Fundamentalism and extremism is a concern. But you’re trying to conflate Muslim’s with terrorism.
