Islamophobia?

They use it as a cudgel, a pejorative to evoke

shame in the minds of those who feel an

aversion to Islam, the very visible Islam of

ancient sectarian, tribal enmity and divisions

the Islam exporting its faithful abroad to

international destinations, that very Islam

where enraged sociopaths take deadly umbrage

at the whiff of hint in disrespect to their Prophet

and his Koran. That would be the Islam

that threatens the kufar, infidels, crusaders

viewing them with disdain, contempt and

threat. On the one hand regarding Christians

and Jews as 'People of the Book' deriving

from the Abrahamic tradition whence the

trinity of Judaism, Christianity and Islam

derived from, yet Islamic scholars define

theirs as the finished and final rendition, all

others outdated by divine decree, obsolete

and fit to be destroyed. Through antiquity to

the present Islamic armies of scimitar-waving

fundamentalists threaten the existence of

'non-believers', for as such they surrender the

right to life. Depriving the unbelievers of

that most precious of commodities is in fact

a major preoccupation of many Islamic groups

for whom terrorism equates with religious

fervor in serving their Supreme Being whose

primary order to the faithful is jihad, jihad, jihad.

So then, Islamophobia is nothing if not a well

earned sobriquet for the Muslim hordes who

demean, persecute, threaten, and slaughter at will

in dedicated, sacred obedience to the divine.
