Islamophobia is reminiscent of the great Red Scare.*
Not much difference in the level of violence between the Christian Bible and the Muslim Koran.**

Three statements liable to rebound on the asserter's head:~~

* Anyone who remembers such incidents as the Berlin Airlift; the Czech takeover; crushing of Hungarian uprising by Soviet tanks 1956 (cont p 94); and can still use the term Red Scare as an attempt at diminishing litotes is an idiot, frankly. There was plenty to be genuinely scared of; just as there is with Islamism now.

** For differences between present differences in proselytising intent between Xtianity & some, smallish but predominant, forms of Islamism, please see my post above of 2 Feb 07.52 AM.

*** A perfect description, surely of the present attitude & activities of Bin-Laden, Al-Qaeda, the Islamist "Brotherhood", &c?
