Anti-Muslim prejudice is real, and it’s scary

It has become fashionable recently to state that there is no such thing as anti-Muslim prejudice, this commentator argues otherwise and I agree with him. http://www.spectator.co.uk/columnists/matthew-parris/9472722/anti-muslim-prejudice-is-real-and-its-scary/

Anti-Muslim prejudice is real, and it’s scaryThe views expressed by anti-Islamists are hateful towards all Muslims, and to those of us who don’t share their own antipathy

what a shocking revaluation!

Anti Muslim and anti Islam though would be different points of view however. I'm anti Islam, well anti all religion to be honest, but I don't hate on specific Muslims. I don't see it being scary though.

I think it's perfectly logical for a developed society to be anti-religion (take your pick) given the nature of religious beliefs and the subsequent justification of the actions of various churches over the centuries. The whole concept is oppressive and undermines human development.

MOD: This is the Politics main forum. Perhaps you would like to discuss this religious issue in the Islam forum?
