Few would struggle to identify values like civil society, tolerance, respect and mutual understanding with the Jewish community, both in this country and elsewhere throughout the free world. 

Islam doesn't carry the same undiluted package of virtues with it where it comes from, or where it goes. Actions taken in the name of Islam have provided many people in places like Manhattan, London, Paris, Madrid, Nice, Berlin, Ottawa and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu with a wholly legitimate sense of fear. 

I feel considerable discomfort about a culture that marginalizes women and homosexuals, and that shows unique interest in importing its own set of laws into our otherwise successful civil society.  I also feel discomfort about the religious fanaticism that produces suicide bombers who murdered, oh,  another 100 people in Pakistan this week. 

Might my beliefs and discomfort be described as a phobia by someone trying to push an agenda?

When you need to control my thoughts, the problem is you.
