Gary Clouse replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Comedian Dean Obeidallah is quick to point out that his last name literally translates o "Servant of Allah"
Abdul and Hussein are common Arabic srnames and any name prefixed with Al, Ibn or abu."
Unseen replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Literally, a last name that references Muhammed or jihad or something like that. Or is it just a Middle Eastern last name? A name that is common is Muslim areas."
Hope replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"You know what bothers me? I have a Muslim last name and I dont want to be discriminated against..
Islamophobia is totally different from discrimination but both 2 are linked somehow.. :/ "

Unseen replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Fear is a feeling, and feelings by their nature are not rational (logical). They come from a different mental place and are not the result of a series of syllogisms.
A fear, however, CAN be reasonable in the sense of understandable."

Davis Goodman replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Holy fucking shit Virgil. That is total lunacy. This is like the text of the unibomber mixed with Mein Kampf and a dash of Fred Phelps thrown in."

Sorry, converting to Islam is not in the cards for me.
In a way, you have to get into the enemy's head to defeat them, and in doing so you, in a way, become them.
I was tempted to try…"
Virgil replied to Brian Daurelle's discussion 'In Defense of ‘Islamophobia’'"Well okay Kris... do you suggest we give them more open access to the entire globe?
