Don't allow 'Islamophobia' to be normalized-- it's a term of Islamist propaganda. The word "bigotry" covers anti-Muslim bigotry just fine.

The DSM-V defines 'phobia' as a sub-type of Anxiety Disorder, and says it's medically treatable via therapy. I wonder if therapy for Islamophobia is covered by Health Canada?

Can I book off with Islamophobia?

Can you catch it off a hockey stick, or a show shovel? Is there Mormonophobia?

I watched the debate. One Liberal speaker said we should respect another's beliefs. That's absurd: What if I walked into the bank and said, "I believe you took $10,000 out of my account. Respect my belief and pay up!"?

We don't respect beliefs, but rather, we evaluate evidence.

If I said that Islamic ideology is nonsense, and forcing children to learn it is child abuse-- would that be Islamophobia, and would my attempt at free speech be silenced?

Islam is just an idea, and it is subject to criticism (even ridicule) as is any other idea.

Slippery slope here.
