I can recognize humor if it's funny.
Men and women can have very different senses of humour. You on one hand, as a woman I'm assuming, might find it funny when the feminist icon in your avatar says don't call me a chick, that's offensive, call me a bitch instead. I, on the other hand, as a man, think that one of the funniest things ever was when OJ Simpson made those stabbing gestures to that female reporter. You probably didn't find that too amusing I'm guessing.
Not saying my post was anything too funny, but it should have been clear I was taking the piss. The funny part is more that you took it as a serious post.
Onto Sungula's point, I do agree with him that people here don't seem to take anti-Muslim bigotry serious enough, and seem to dismiss it sometimes, just because they don't like the Muslim poster WinterHold or whatever, but at the same time, Muslim apologists do call people Islamaphobic just for criticizing Islam. Therefore, it only makes sense that we use a different term for criticism of Islam, than the term used for bigotry against Muslims. Islamaphobia is a sneaky term used to prop up Islam in some instances, so I reject the term.
