Though I strongly doubt you are an actual Islamophobe. If I were doing a 'You might be an Islamophobe bit, the questions would go along these lines:
If you think Muslims should be prevented from immigrating in order to protect the Constitution.
If you think less than 2% of the population is going to institute Shariah law in America in the nesxt 20 years.
If you think the next war on Muslim extremists can be shortened to a week by dipping our bullets in pig blood and advertising it.
If you think so-called 'moderate Muslims' are practicing taqiyya.
If you think the president is secretly a Muslim.
If you think Islam is not really a religion but a political system disguised as a religion.
I would be very surprised if any of that describes you, TaraJo.
The last one, kinda. I think Islam is a religious system that asks for a specific kind of government. I mean, the religious leader of Muslims, Mohammed, very specifically started an Islamic state and his followers have a habit of doing the same thing. Fortunately, the only place where there is a high enough percentage of Muslims for this to happen is in the middle east and some parts of Africa. I don't worry in the slightest that there's going to be Sharia law here in the US. Hell, I worry more about Jewish law being instituted in the US than I do Sharia law.
