What is Islamophobia?

Anti-Muslim bigotry should be condemned. Why is this growing, if indeed it is?

Don't forget that we face a serious Islamist terrorist threat. Hundreds murdered in Europe in the past two years. Islamist suicide bombers blowing-up a children's pop-concert, for example. An Islamist terrorist tried to run-down people on Jasper Avenue in Edmonton a few weeks ago. All this is just a fact and is definitely one of the reasons why there may be more anti-Muslim bigotry around.

Another reason could be the constant accusations online of racism, bigotry and 'Islamophobia' whenever anyone criticizes anything to do with Islam or Islamism. There is, I believe, a growing backlash against this.

Just watching the CBC cover the issue of Quebec's Bill 62 I am appalled that the CBC has already decided the Quebecois are a bunch of racists and bigots. And I'm appalled the CBC has never put anyone on TV to speak in favour of Bill 62. Again there could be a backlash against CBC bias.
