What's up with the casual Islamophobia recently?
Let's not make this into reddit.
Phobia is an irrational fear. Being afraid of extremists who want to brutally murder you for drawing a cartoon is perfectly rational.
This is a poor semantic argument. It actually originates with right-wing rhetoric around "homophobia".
The argument also hinges on there being only one meaning to a word. Kinda like how Trump is confused about how you can be Asian and Black.
