Islamophobia

Islamophobia, means fear of Muslims, hatred of Muslims, or a desire to limit the civil liberties of Muslims. This word corresponds to sexism, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia in areas related to gender, race, sexual orientation and nationality. It is often caused by a person attributing the actions of a few extreme, violent, Fundamentalist Muslim terrorists to the entire population of Muslims. Islamophobia is actually a new term after the tragedy of September 11 where the World Trade Center (WTC) was attacked and the US blamed that it was the Muslims. When I watch the video in the class showed by Sir Kamaraziz, I understand that these Islamophobia people actually did not want the Muslims to build a mosque at Ground Zero. This is because they did not want that place to be a place where Muslims can gather around. It does not make sense at all and I did not agree with the term "Islamophobia".
