I agree with this guys main points, in that demonizing countries and people is generally a bad idea, but I would not use the word Islamophobia, which now has become mixed up with any criticism of Islam, the religion.

IE: if I say Islam is a bad cult that puts idiotic ideas into peoples heads, I'm suddenly a bigot and an intolerant ass, who sees anyone looking even slightly middle-eastern as some sort of ticking suicide bomber. I was a strong opponent of this attitude when it flourished post 9/11, and I'm still as much against it.

Some people cant seem to separate criticism of "Islam" and criticism of "people from an islamic country or culture", apparently because Islam is the culture, the law and the identity of anyone fortunate to have been born in an islamic area. As you can imagine, Islam scores no further points from me because of this.

The simplest, fastest way to separate supposedly sincere Muslims from jihadists is to promise the wholesale theocide of both unless the violence stops.

You can shout me down as the bad guy for writing the obvious, but the reality is, the holy fanatics are the ones screaming "Our way or death!"

If that's the ultimatum, then let it be death: theirs.

then let it be death: theirs.

Spoken like a true genocidal maniac.

Obviously, religious moderates have little or no direct power over the extremists, no more than you can stop those morons in the US putting up 10 commandments everywhere and requesting prayer and and creationism in schools. The only way too root out religious extremism is widespread education, and raising peoples consciousness about how religion truly is a mind-virus that should not be passed down from one generation to the next, in the form of childhood indoctrination, scare tactics, and labeling of children. People should be given a true free choice. Once that happens, most people WILL choose reason over superstition any day, and thus making the position for those who would not, more difficult to justify.
