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others outdated by divine decree, obsolete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.
