The saddest part is that people then blame the Jews for the actions of the Zionists.
Calling who criticize israel anti semitic, is actually extremely anti semitic.
It’s like calling people who criticize ISIS Islamophobes. Muslims don’t even want to be associated with ISIS, so using Islam to shield ISIS from criticism would be a giant insult to all Muslims.
Yet the media insults Jews like this on a daily basis.
Followers of Islam are Muslim, Muslims are Islamic, what is the distinction you are making? I guess you are saying to be against the religion versus the followers of the religion.
Either way though, Islam doesn’t have to be violent, people use writings from centuries ago to justify violence that would be there without their religion. Islam like Christianity and essentially all major religions preach peace and love for all people, even your enemies. They require doing good service like giving to charity to obtain salvation. Islamic groups have lived peacefully alongside other religious groups countless times.
It’s nice that religion can sometimes bring people together and bring peace, but I think we can or should mostly agree that organized religion should be phased out eventually. I personally believe it’s done more harm than good.
yes, but the prejudice comes from singling out a religion, especially in this case, it’s generally done to excuse aggressively xenophobic policy and opinions

I hate the word ‘Islamophobe’; it implies that being afraid of a regressive and violent religion like Islam (and most religions) is irrational.
The word should be ‘Muslimophobe’; most Muslims are sane people who don’t care about the intricacies of the religion.

I guess the distinction would be fear of a specific religion or belief and the other would be fear of followers of a specific belief?
The suffix “-phobe” indicates aversion, not fear or irrationality. It’s much older than the psychological concept of a phobia.
No one is blaming Jews and fuc Zionists.
