What is 'Islamophobia'? For example: is German Chancellor Angela Merkel 'Islamophobic' for stating recently that the Islamic full-face veil and burqa make it impossible for women to integrate into German society and should therefore be banned to the furthest extent possible under the German constitution? Or, was the Dutch film-maker Theo Van Gogh 'Islamophobic' for making a film about the mistreatment of women in Islam?
