An article by Raheel Raza, another Muslim for whom I have much admiration: Combating political Islam

"The West must now use its friends, progressive Muslims and the State of Israel, to determine a clear strategy for dealing with Islamism. Progressive Muslims, like myself, have tried to inform our governments about what they are up against. After 9/11, we called for recognition of the true enemy, a violent ideology which could not be fought with weapons of mass destruction. However, multiculturalism and political correctness kept sidelining the real issues, with any critique of Islamism bringing accusations of racism and Islamophobia."

"The weeding out of Islamism and the Islamist threat lodged inside the West is the essential prerequisite, or the first step, in defeating global jihadi warfare of Islamists and in helping the Muslim world reconcile itself with the modern values of science, democracy and human rights.

To do this, we need to follow the lead of our Israeli allies and look with clear eyes into the nature of political Islam and have a frank conversation without fear of political correctness."

Since Raheel, her colleague Tarek Fatah, myself, Keith, Mike, Dave etc. have the same opinion of and share a loathing for Islamism then I suppose by the criteria of our resident apologists they too are Islamophobes.
