A big part is the fear of being accused of prejudice or bigotry. Every other group says "don't hate us," but Islamophobia means "don't fear us." It's a twisted genius use of semantics: any mention of Islamic violence automatically qualifies as Islamophobia, which is equated to racism.
Very powerful essay, Joshua. This issue needs MUCH more awareness in the West.
My sentiments exactly.
How and why do people gloss over the common denominator of Islamist jihadism?

Thank you, Joshua, for always trying to educate, open eyes, and provoke dialogue. I've learned so much from you!
Interesting how the Cloonys seem to have lost interest in Sudan and instead have jumped on the pro-Hamas bandwagon. Perhaps a bid to remain relevant?
That IS interesting!
Horrific. What people endure. It needs to stop.

Slight alteration needed. Should read “The world shares”
The American Taliban (white Christian nationalism)? The European Doctrine of Discovery?
