“Islamophobia” is a propaganda term that is used for two unrelated phenomena: vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others. The goal of this conflation is to inhibit such analysis and intimidate people into thinking it’s wrong to oppose jihad terror. And it’s working great. This agreement is meant not to “remove misunderstandings,” but to increase them, and to foster ignorance and complacency in the guise of educating people so that they won’t victimize innocent Muslims, which every civilized person knows not to do already.
