In this book you will find tantalizing discussions about questions such as these: How can Islamophobia be a form of racism when Islam is not even a race? Does Hollywood portray Muslim men as ordinary humans or are they relegated to the roles of completely inept and laughable buffoons, evil violent terrorists hell-bent on wanton destruction, and sex-craved sheikhs with an insatiable appetite for blondes? Even if all Muslims aren’t terrorists, then why does it seem that all terrorists are Muslim? Who is to blame when Muslims do carry out acts of terrorism? Are Muslims collectively guilty and deserving of retribution or is the communal blame of Muslims just a form of racism? What exactly is freedom of speech? And are Muslims capable of respecting free speech? Why have so many western European nations banned hijab and niqab when they lay claims to freedom of religion? If there is freedom of religion in the West, then why is there a minaret ban in the Swiss constitution? Is this because Muslims are innately intolerant people or because some people in the West are intolerant of Muslims? Are honor killings part of Islam? And are they any different than intimate partner violence that is an unfortunate part of every society? Are Muslims capable of integrating into western societies or are they intent on taking over? What are the so-called Muslim no-go zones in Europe? Suppose Muslims do someday become a majority population in a western country, will they impose Islam and shariah law? Why are there so few Muslim Nobel prize winners? At the end, does Islamophobia even matter or are these questions merely academic? Put another way, is Islamophobia just a bunch of silly stereotypes or is its actually dangerous? At the end, would a rational person fear Muslims? Or are some people just prone to succumbing to the ill-Logic of Islamophobia?
