Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism Book Excerpts:
Islamophobia refers to unfounded fear of and hostility

present and in some quarters tolerated. READ

Islam was pressured to resign after a quarrel he had
with Maj. Stephen Coughlin, where Islam asked Coughlin
to soften his views on Islamists.
Anti-Semitism
and Islamophobia - Lessons From History: Alexander
Gainem traces the origins of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia
in European history, drawing an analogy between the
two concepts and foreseeing more violence if Islamophobia
is not taken more seriously.
Despite obstacles,
Islam continues to spread: Since the advent
of Islam, as the final and all-compassing Message to

to thwart it and curb its followers. Right from day
one, they did their level best to kill it in the bud
using different ways. READ
