It's my opinion that people should try to take the power of the word away from those who use it as a negative. It's not a negative. I'm proud to be an Islamophobe. It's a disgusting belief system that's based on a con artist's bullshit. You can choose the "irrational" definition, but below is the one that describes it best, because you can't be irrrational for fearing Islam . That is a rational response.
Islamophobia is a fear of losing life or liberty to Islamic rule merely because the laws, sacred texts, and modern practices of Islam demand the submission of culture, politics, religion and all social expression. It tends to afflict those most familiar with the religion, while sparing the more gullible.
