If there is a fear of Islam it is not a fear of the person but of its sacred writings, the Koran in particular. If a discussion about Islamophobia leads to a conversation about the Koran then it will have been time well spent. The world desperately needs an honest discussion about Islam, starting with an unfettered dialogue about its core religious text if we are to allay the fear of the other and foster a trust in the other that is sadly lacking and a reason to fear that the worst is yet to come.

 It's something which I have been advocating on my website for years.
