Islamophobic Americans

Powerline tries to answer the question:  Are Americans Islamophobic?  There seems to be snide insinuations in the mainstream media that we are, and that it is a bad thing.  Omigod!  You mean most Americans have a problem with an ideology that promotes head chopping, bomb-throwing, women-beating, gay-executing barbarianism?  One could only hope.

Powerline puts it into perspective:

In the end, of course, the question comes down to how one defines Islamophobia. If it means disliking American Muslims because of their religion, then I don't think the charge sticks. If it means disliking a good deal of what many Muslims are doing in the wider world, and seeing some sort of a connection between that conduct and the religion of Islam, then Americans may well be Islamophobic. But we would be fools if we weren't. [emphasis added]

Am I an Islamophobe?  On steroids.
