I know what it was intended to mean by the PC brigade - but it is still a made up word by those trying to label something they disapprove of as ‘hate’. Their agendas are always crystal clear.

Blow it up into some huge ‘hate crime’ to intimidate and close down opposition to large scale immigration. They aren’t as high-brow as they like to think - just totally transparent!

You’ve been really struggling with dictionary-defined words this week.

Things can be words even if you dislike them.

Stomping your feet, crossing your arms and shouting NO doesnt change anything.

We have words like Homophobia and Transphobia, so why not Islamophobia?

I know it won't make me popular on here but I would probably be labelled under Islamophobic myself as I have a lot of serious issues with the Religion's "morals" I will treat individuals of the Religion fine if they're nice to me, but I do intensely dislike the Religion, but then I have a lot of issues with Christianity aswell.

I apologize for going off on a wild tangent btw.

So why not Cristianophobia, Catholicophobia or Hinduophobia etc. It’s the deliberate use of the word ‘phobia’ to try to suggest any issues with Islam in particular are ‘irrational’. They are trying to imply it is on par with a ‘clinical diagnosis!

Apparently any criticism of that particular religion can only be an ‘irrational’ one. It is so contrived - and downright disingenuous! Not buying it for a minute!

Christophobia and Indophobia are used to describe those things.

Gynophobia is a fear or dislike of women. Is that a made up word with no real meaning?

If they are official words then so be it. Islamophobia was made up by the PC Brigade and not worth a jot.

No, youre wrong again

In summary, youve spent a few years being angry over a word because you believed that people you disliked made it up.
