Claustrophobia.

Arachnophobia.

Agoraphobia. 

Technophobia.

Phobia is suffix for fear.  The suffix for hate is misia, if we're staying with Greek.

Discrimination against small spaces. If you choose not to enter small spaces, you are by definition discriminating against them compared to larger spaces.

Discrimination against spiders. Purposefully avoiding them is a type of discrimination.

Discrimination against crowded places. If you choose not to enter crowded spaces, you are by definition discriminating against them compared to uncrowded spaces.

Discrimination against new technology. If you choose not to use it, that's technically discrimination.

Discrimination- to make a distinction in favor of or against a person or thing on the basis of the group, class, or category to which the person or thing belongs rather than according to actual merit; show partiality.

I don't like religiophobia either. It bunches together hate of religion and hate of the religious like the term Islamaphobia does, and that way, Islamic apologists can basically call us bigots for having issues with the religion of Islam. That's why I stick to calling it anti-Muslim bigotry.

Yeah, there is no such thing as ISLAMOPHOBIA

It is the right of every individual to question a religion which CLAIMS to be peaceful, and yet is responsible for more terror attacks than any other.

In the Islamic world, women are treated as second class citizens and bound by ancient laws that have no place in a modern world.

If anything, ISLAM has a phobia about ANYTHING not ISLAMIC.

1.You all realize phobia can have a non-medical use and can be an intolerance or aversion to things.

2. Islamaphobia exists and isn't just about bashing any critics of Islam. There numerous examples of perfectly benign activities associated with said religion sparking deranged responses. While there is plenty of things to criticize Islam on. Pushing the idea that there aren't swathes of people who get bent out of shape by the mere presence of anything to do with the religion or culture regardless of context is simply irrational. And pretending there aren't swathes of people who cloak their hatred of Muslims in the guise of criticizing the darker elements of Islam is also irrational.

That's really reaching.

But it's not surprising.

It's called a joke. Does no one have a sense of humour? Discrimination is fine. We all discriminate every day. Obviously I knew that Boru was referring to the types of discrimination that are not cool.

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.

A guy in boise idaho who votes against his own interests out of the fear that sharia law will soon be imposed on him - islamophobia.
A guy in boise idaho who thinks that islam is a garbage fire - basically any tuesday.

 no one thinks 'racism' means anything other than a person who discriminates on the basis of race.

Which is a shame, really, since that part is just a small slice of what racism refers to - pretty much just the tip of the larger iceberg.  Very racist people very correctly point out that they've never kicked a brown person out of their sandwich shop - and to them, this demonstrates that they can't possibly be racist.
