      .@EricLiptonNYT Please don't normalize "Islamophobe." It's a term of Islamist propaganda. The word "bigotry" covers anti-Muslim bigotry.

          Where in the word islamophobe does the inference of racism or bigotry reside? (rather than irrationality)

          But "bigot" is a term from Christian tradition; it means "by God". It describes a religious choice, not hatred

          I agree. But what's the logic here? Is the word's origin really a defense that people use?

          certain books is true. But most people haven't/weren't and don't agree it's true, so are free to criticise it, even ridicule.
