MarkO1967, I'm prepared to believe that somewhere in the world, there exists someone who thinks that this dispute can be explained by semantics.  You may even be one of them, but I'm pretty sure you'd be alone on Globe comments.  

One motion was against the intense dislike of jews, the other against the intense dislike of muslims.  It wasn't the koran that got filled with bullets on January 29.  And I didn't see the Conservatives propose a motion that substituted the term anti-muslim bigotry for islamophobia.

ps, have you read the Old Testament lately?
