There needs to be legal action taken against their mosque, NY PD, and whatever/whomever can be found liable for allowing a terror attack to take place.

Or raise it to the ground. Snakes live in grass - remove the grass, exposed the snakes.

Well said. At some point the slur "Islamophobe" will have to be embraced. If you aren't afraid of Islam, you haven't been paying attention.

But it's not an actual phobia, so the term is nothing more than a perverse invention intended to deceive us and suppress challenging questions.

Of course. So all the more reason to embrace it, turn it around the way I did.

If the term is adopted sarcastically, it should be wrapped in quotes to show proper disrespect for the idea. Unfortunately, I doubt that media writers will have the understanding and courage to do that.

Not sarcastic. As has happened more than once in the past, a negative term used to slur a disfavored group is turned around and used as a positive identification by the group itself. Quaker for example. Do an AI search.

Well, this is not just a negative term, and I don't want to contribute to the abuse of English that the Left is so often guilty of. Knowing what we do of the nature of Islam, there is no such thing as a phobia -- an irrational fear -- of it. Putting "Islamophobia" and "Islamophobe" in quotes is simply appropriate.

Well said Danny! If you haven’t already, please checkout the livestream about Taqiyya by Raymond Ibrahim. He really spelled things out clearly. Our leaders need to hear that message.
