A phobia is an irrational fear.
Can anyone prove me wrong on the above?
Posting that stat is paranoia.
The USA caused 600,000 deaths in Iraq alone. It waged a war based on lies.
Who is the terrorist?
Do the maths!
The USA has caused around 1 million deaths around the world in the same period.
The population of the USA is 300 million
Population of Islam is 1.8 billion.
The makes WHO the most violent?
You are off track and has veered into 'whataboutery.'
In the OP I did not blame the whole 1.8 billion Muslims.
Note I raised a specific thread on that;
Do Not Blame Muslims
I have also mentioned we should not focus the blaming Muslims even the terrorists who killed in the name of their God because in most cases, they were compelled by their God to commit those evil acts, else they will go to hell.
Note I wrote above;
- The ideology of Islam is loaded with tons of evil and violent elements that exhort Muslims to war against and kill non-Muslims.
I have the evidences from the Quran to support the above.
In addition I mentioned it is only appx 20% or 360 million of Muslims who are vulnerable to obey the commands of Allah in the Quran as compelled by a threat of hell if they don't.
Re your 'whataboutery' you should take note of the following;
There are all sorts of carnage, evil and violent acts by all sorts of humans driven by all sorts of ideologies and all sorts of reason since humans emerged till the present and into the future.
Humanity must address, resolve and prevent/minimize all the above evil and violent acts without exceptions.
The effective strategy to the above is to break the whole problem of evil acts into common patterns and smaller units to enable them to be resolved more efficiently.
There are two main categories of evil acts, i.e. secular and religious-related.
Within the religious -related, there is the Islam-related evils and violence.
If you have written a thesis you would have understood the Problem Statement of a thesis should be as specific as possible which I am doing in confining my issue in this case to Islamic-related violence and the element of 'islamophobia'.
I suggest you answer the OP specific question.
To insist the fear and critique of the ideology of Islam is islamophobic, is an insult to one's intelligence.
One point to note is why it is Islam the only religion that is associated with 'phobia' and not to other religions?
