What is the opposite of Islamophobia?

Question

I raise this question using the concept of duality. Since US has this phobia of Islam towards the middle east, wouldn't the middle east has a similar phobia against the US? Something like capitalisimophobia.

Answer 1

Westophobia

It's actually a real term, according to Wikipedia:

"Westophobia" is an informal term that refers to the fear that people have of Western culture and societies. In typical usage it refers to ways in which some Muslims have prejudices and sterotyping in their attitude and relationship to the West. The mirror image of this fear is called "Islamophobia."

The term appears to have originated in 1999 when the London Bible College published The Westophobia Report: Anti-Western & Anti-Christian Stereotyping in British Muslim Publications. It examined how British Muslim attitudes and prejudices to the West and Christianity often mirrored Western attitudes and prejudices.

(I've also seen the term Christophobia)

Answer 2

Since you're speaking about religion, not economic systems , it'd be something like "Christianophobia"...which sounds stupid. Maybe because your premise is kind of weird? I don't think it's a phobia, but the result of brainwashing by the right-wing, Christian-controlled media.

Answer 3

I don't think the US has this phobia.

I think the Islamists (not to be confused with regular muslims) are not really open tolerant people.

I'm mean, I like white people but I'm afraid of the KKK. That does not mean I have whitaphobia, it means I am scared of violent racists and I should be when they have the intent to kill.

Answer 4

the opposite of Islamophobia is Nonislamophobia...
