The article is a poorly argued white supremacist screed.
- heraclius 8y agoI think that this is a valid initial reaction, but there is a useful point here, which unfortunately has been expressed in the middle of a combination of potential bigotry as you note, bad translation (possibly) and poor phrasing. A reasonable attack on something then begins to use a word (“Islamophobia”). It is then used by those who seek to render Islam “inviolate”. Clearly some people exist who think this, if not particularly many. Because Islamophobia can be construed as referring to any attack on Islam, there is a risk that one then incorrectly concludes from the fact that many things described as Islamophobic are bad that everything potentially Islamophobic (using the word in the broadest possible sense) is bad. Unfortunately this useful point is obscured by lots of other at least unhelpful material.
