CMV: "Islamophobia" is a highly loaded word that is often improperly used to deter criticism of harmful cultural practices.

Let's clear some stuff up:

**Islamophobia:** Trying to disallow people from building a mosque in your town because you fear that "those people" will use it as a toehold to establish a terrorist training camp.

**Not Islamophobia:** Trying to disallow people from setting up an enclave inside your town wherein laws against sexual abuse don't apply or can't be enforced.

**Islamophobia:** Using Arabic terms (such as "dhimmi") as slurs for Western politicians whose policies you disapprove of. Claiming that a non-Muslim politician such as Barack Obama is a secret Muslim because you don't approve of his policies.

**Not Islamophobia:** Investigating financial connections between the Saudi royals and Western politicians.

**Islamophobia:** Treating a crime as "terrorism" if it is committed by Muslims and "ordinary crime" if it is committed by Christians or atheists or Jews or Scientologists or something.

**Not Islamophobia:** Taking explicit threats from terrorist groups (including those who identify as Muslim) seriously and investigating in response.

**Islamophobia:** Using anti-Muslim rhetoric to justify crimes against humanity, such as torture and conspiracy to commit torture.

**Not Islamophobia:** Noticing that ISIS hasn't yet been around (as an entity occupying territory and claiming statehood) as long as the Bush Administration was, and it's already getting *way* up there in the crimes-against-humanity department.
