Only someone blind & deaf & braindead (or brainwashed) cannot see that Islamophobia is a rational response to a crazy, backward, fanatic ideology. This does not mean a hatred of Muslims, who are most often the prime victims of this lunatic ideology. It is not racism either. On the contrary, anyone who has respect for human rights, for freedom of all kinds, for the rights of individuals, for gender equality, & for rational thought, anyone who is against intolerence, hatred, discrimination against minorities, anyone who is for a sane world, should be proud to call himself Islamophobic.

Anti liberal Muslim country Malaysia. Malaysia a country with over 25 million inhabitants with its over 60 % Muslim citizen is turning more and more into the Orthodox Islamic direction by recent “…..top Islamic council ruling avoid yoga because it uses Hindu prayers and encourages a union with God that is blasphemous…..” which seems to be in accord with similar interpretation / rulings in Egypt and Singapore. - Another example of Islam’s outspoken will to rule others

Dear Terry I'm not agree with you. We cannot fight racism discriminating the other ones they makes mistakes and consequently if we are supposed to be the right ones. We cannot fight on their same lower level otherwise we are the same with no possibility to distinguish goodness and bedness.

pick the winning side Israel and America. The muslims live to die, we should help them. This is war and everyone hates muslims, they've earned their foul reputation. They murder their own kids for cash. There's something very sick about these pigs. We'll all party when they starve.

That's like saying Judeao-phobia is justified by the stupid statements and rulings that our "rabbis" regularly issue straight out of their tuchuses. Your rants are becomming less and less rational. Seems like you are baking in the sun down there.

This twisted doctrine grows more bizarre each day.

Is not being racist the solution ; many of them are willing to die in the name of God is because they are ignorant God never said that. Jews,Muslim and Catolic are one family. We need to fight Terrorism and ignorance togther.

Do you actually see an equivalence between our Haredim & Islamic ideologues? That's quite a stretch even for someone who might tend towards moral equivalence. Granted, some of our rabbis are a bit eccentric, not exactly a progressive bunch of people. But they are not recommending chopping off people's heads, admiring suicide bombers, hanging gays, defending honour killings, promoting violent Jihad against non-believers, seeking to conquer the world to establish Islamic domination, etc. etc. Is there any comparison between the Torah & the Qurán re: human values. Can you honestly compare the Talmud with the Sharía? If you think that, you have obviously studied neither. In addition, I would say that 90% of Jews worldwide are either secular or moderately traditional, hardly extremists. I doubt if you would find the same numbers among Muslims. And, I will repeat again since you seemingly missed it in your knee-jerk angry response, that I did NOT say that Islamophobia means hatred of individual Muslims but rather a justified dislike of a totalitarian and distinctly un-liberal IDEOLOGY whose primary victims are Muslims themselves. Don't try to make me out as an intolerent bigot because basically the only thing I can't tolerate is intolerence.

It came on while I was writing my previous post. Listen to what this ''right-wing'' rabbi says. Does he sound like an extremist to you? Compare this article with some of the more charming speeches by Imams - just pop over to Memri or look on YouTube. This rabbi represents our religion no matter if you don't like his politics (or mine). Unfortunately, what you will find at Memri accurately represents Islam, more the pity.

Dear Daniel van Amsterdam Winston S Churchill: " How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. " WSC was not acused of islamofobia but but he was accused of beeing nazifob! Islamofobia is absolutely justified. OdS Norway

if / when you're OWN liberal freedoms are taken away by Islam (not only the freedoms of others whom you care nothing about), and you're facing the death penalty under Sharia law for doing something that you now take for granted like freedom of speech, you should beg for mercy from the local warlord based on the fact that you supported their right to be intolerant. Let us know how that turns out for you...

All words beginning with "yog" are harmful to the Muslim and must be avoided in Malaysia, Malawi, and the Maldives.

Sometimes I even skip the article - too predictable. But I go right to your TBs. You make sense and keep your cool no matter what.

I will take this article to my Tae Kwon Do/kickboxing instructor as a veiled warning!! That 90 lb maniac with all her demands for correct breathing, punching, contorting, kicking, and doing weird things with sticks and weights just has to be turning people away from Islam, Christianity, Judaism, probably the Mormons, and a few religions not yet invented. After one hour of that woman’s regimen and one begs for relief from whatever deity of whom one can think. I’ve tried ‘em all, Huitzlipochtli included, and nobody is listening until 2 days later; just in time for more of the same. Does anyone know the Korean word for Fatwa???

Hey, it's impossible to understand what you said, because your post is bloody with anger and violence, like an emotional explosion. If you were attempting to sound a desperate battle cry for reasonable people to rally to the defense of freedom, you'd lose your job if the purpose was to save innocent life. The whole point is that reasonable citizens will NOT tolerate wars of aggression, yet at the same time WILL protect freedom of religion for everybody. #3 was right that it's hyprocritical to become an example of actions we oppose. C'mon, if you're opposed to aggression (distinguished from defense), don't act as if you had a moral basis to sound like an authoritarian issuing decrees of death. *With friends like these...*!

all "doctrines' "Dogmas" are twisted.. but somehow, it is always the other guys dogma which is flawed. ALL dogmas are fatuous, false, inflammatory, and divisive.. this 800 pound gorilla is poisoning the world and few of us have the cojones to standup and denounce this antiquated foolishness gone way beyond belief by this avowed atheist.. humanity is all we have, the sooner we see each other as people first, the better, BUT it will NEVER happen sadly... J

Exactly my point .. "God" never said anything you poor mis-guided misanthrope.. because "HE " is a mythical as SantaClaus.. nice stories for children, though.. PEOPLE are one family, forget he dogma and STOP fighting.. why is this soo hard to understand??
