"Islamophobia"?

published by salaf on 15 July, 2005 - 00:22

Is anyone else uncompfortable with the official use of this term.

I don't like it primarily because it just sounds like a quickly thought up term indicative of the sloganistic culture we live in.

Secondly a phobia is a psychological condition based on childhood experiences so it isn't even relevant in that sense.

I don't think there's a problem using it on forums and stuff but when I hear adult muslims using it on TV it does sound slightly childish and embarrasing.

Influence of modern philosophy on muslims

Does anyone else get really annoyed when they hear muslims make statements that are based clearly on modernist interpretations of society and history?

Like take for example you always hear muslims nowadays saying that Islam is a religion of Tolerance. I could go in depth about the background and nature of the concept of Tolerance in recent in history but I'd be here all night. To the point how is Islam a religion of Tolerance?

It's certainly tolerant of some things and intolerant of others but so is every culture and religion in the world.
