Just reading the comments on this article will be a big clue. I blame the likes of the Sun, Express and Mail

It could be claimed that Islamophobia is created by the supporters of Islam itself, their intent to turn the UK into a bastion of that religion, unseen in the UK before Idi Amin, is not even a hidden one, no politician is prepared to take this problem on, Powell's legacy right ?

We’re allowed to criticise Islam thanks, you might want to keep your blasphemy laws in the third world countries everyone is trying to escape from.

No one is talking about the fact that islam is paraded as a religion only but its also a political system and a governance over the way people live their lives. It is opposed to the way British society lives and with Saudi beheading a woman on a pubic road - is that what we want?

Because people keep expanding the definition.

First it was the Irish then the blacks now it's the Muslims there always has to be a monster under the bed for those who want to push an agenda.....some things change but some things remain the same!

It's a rational fear of being killed in the street by savages......

Religionaphobia is better. I love it.

All the religions is trouble of humanity!

A phobia is an irrational fear. Plenty to fear about a culture that wants to chop peoples heads off when it gets the upper hand AS THEY DO IN SAUDI
