#Islamaphobia ... a term created to stultify #FirstAmendment #freedomsofspeechandpress.
-phobia added to a prefix doesn't refer to well-grounded and sensible concerns or fears.

You know, like the fear that might fester in your mind if you see a person in an airline pilot's uniform throwing back three or four shots before walking into the airport?
A sensible passenger hopes for a sober pilot, and evidence that the pilot is on a bender makes the rational person rightly fearful for their safety.
In like vein, a sober reflection of the lives we have lived on this planet for the last thirty years teaches the sober-minded that there are many committed #Islamists that believe they are obliged to engage in #Jihad against the #West.
That's not #Islamaphobia. That's sensible self-preservation.
