I disagree anyway; if the man in the picture was white and cleanshaven, even if he had a massive sign above his head saying "I am a Muslim", people would not be having the same reaction to this "hilarious" photograph. Therefore, let's call it what it is: not islamophobia, but negative, destructive stereotyping based on casual racism.

I would call it being careful full stop. I personally am on guard if I see anyone I consider out of the ordinary whatever country, race or religion they are associated with. Its not under any circumstances discriminatory. Its called being alert and aware.
