The Cure for Muslim-Phobia from Planck's Constant

As for the cure for Muslim-phobia, in December 2004, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan revealed his remedy for "Muslim-phobia": understanding and tolerance [People's Daily Online]. I fully agree: if Islam and its billion and a half brainwashed adherents ever become understanding and exhibit tolerance, I believe that the rest of the world would accept Islam as a true religion and Muslims as decent human beings instead of the anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-Buddhist, anti-Hindu, anti-West, anti-civilization, anti-science, anti-intellectual, whining, brutal, ignorant, barbaric, backward, primitive, violent, loathsome, intolerant, moribund, parasitical bunch of savages they currently are.

This litany of descriptions, by the way, are Muslim's good points and I am much too much of a decent person to mention their bad points. After all, I do not want to be accused of picking on Muslims.

I usually use the term Islamophobia but because Kofi Annan used the term Muslim-phobia I will continue it only for the purpose of this article.

I often get readers who accuse me of Muslim-phobia, as if that were a bad thing, the fear of Muslims. But as I wrote in Bearophobia and the Coming Holocaust, "There is nothing wrong with fearing bears especially since bears do not share your cultural values such as the value of human life."

I have never written that I hate Muslims, in fact the contrary, I have emphatically stated that I certainly do not hate Muslims just as I do not hate bears. But fearing those who wish your destruction is neither unreasonable nor bigoted.

There are readers who accuse me of stirring up hatred for Arabs, Palestinians, and Muslims in general. That's not true - Muslims accomplish that all by themselves just fine without any help from me. As for complaints that bloggers like me are making Americans more Muslim-phobic, according to a survey released by Pew Research Center on 20 Sep 2007 43% of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of Muslims, while 35% express a negative view. That's despite 9/11, over ten thousand Muslim attacks all over the world since then, and millions of blog posts detailing Muslim cruelty and their inability to assimilate into any non-Muslim culture.

Almost all of these idiots who hold a favorable view of Muslims have to be Liberals, after all, they do not see Muslims as all that different than themselves, they both hate America.

So given the number of Liberals in this country, I think they're so stupid they'll continue to have a favorable view of Muslims even if Iran nukes Chicago or Philadelphia. It's totaling amazing. So I doubt anything I write will convince the majority of them of the dangers ahead of us. I simply write for the few souls who will take the warning to heart and prepare themselves as did a few Jews in 1930s Germany, although the majority of them continued to disbelieve in Nazi evil even while scraping their fingers against the walls to escape the poisonous gas coming from the shower-heads.

By the way, you will note in the survey link, Americans have even a more unfavorable view of atheists (53%) than of Muslims and yet I did not fly into any buildings with a plane nor have I honor-killed my wife or daughter nor have I shackled and raped any of my servants. Go figure.

Besides, I am not the one stirring hatred:

Planck's Constant, Spreading Sheep and Razing Peace
note to leftists and liberals who feel sorry for Palestinians and who send me nasty emails saying that I am spreading hatred toward Arabs: I do not teach my children that killing Arabs or Muslims is the road to everlasting paradise; I do not teach my children that suicide bombers who kill women and children are heroes to be worshiped and emulated; I do not urge schools, churches, and television programs to teach hatred of any group. So kindly send your emails to those who are truly spreading hate.

Nor especially have I ever written that Israelis should rape Palestinian women. Here we have an Egyptian lawyer advocating that Palestinians should rape Israeli women in revenge for the occupation as in this Youtube video.
