Islamophobia, The Concept And The Polemic
by Koenraad Elst https://www.legal-project.org/3637/islamophobia-the-concept-and-the-polemic Excerpt: The attack against criticism of the Islamic religion continues. Like the Soviet Union of yore, the West along with the Islamic world treats critics of the privileged ideology as madmen suffering from a mental disease, an irrational fear, in this case a new-fangled disorder called Islamophobia. This is modeled on xenophobia, "fear of strangers", and ultimately on genuine diseases like agoraphobia, "fear of public places", and arachnophobia, "fear of spiders". The crusaders (or rather the muhajedin) against this disease are not missionaries who claim to love the people they accuse of being devil-worshippers, they are simpler and more straightforward: they just hate these dissenters.
