Comment: And, by the way, Observer, to further reinforce my observation, it does not take long to see what folks said about Tom Clancy, the author I just mentioned who had the hideous gall to cast Islamist terrorists as bad guys:

"Islamophobia in English Novels" (from the Islamic Forum): "Islamophobia in English Novels. Presently I am reading... as a matter of fact, he reminded me of another bigot, Tom Clancy."

"Islamophobia in Literature"... "This page outlines several examples in which Islamophobia is present and perpetuated in popular novels and bestsellers"... "Tom Clancy.... perpetuates negativity towards Muslims and Islamophobia. "

Double standard. Clear and plain as the nose on your face.
