Yes I know what it is. Prejudice against Muslims. As an American Muslim I get this crap all the time when I go out with my husband for wearing hijab. Islamaphobia is down right stupid. People should learn to read reliable books about Islam and see what it is really about or get to know Muslims in their community and make friends with them. Maybe then they will see that Muslims are people as well and not be so racist towards them.

I have not heard this term used in our everyday language yet. I'm assuming it means the fear of those who are Islamic and practice a faith other than main stream U.S. religions? I do not fear those of another faith, but I do fear a faith that teaches the destruction of Christian's and Jews. People need to wake up to the fact that there is a strong argument for concern here. People do want to see the destruction of our country. Will you be blind to this or stay diligent and protect yourself, your family, and your country? For all those people who don't like America or Americans , then get out! It's a free country and you are free to leave. I've been around many parts of the world and although I accept that ours is a nation with problems, it is still the best I've seen by far. P.S. I have many Muslim friends who support the west, our beliefs, and our way of life. These people are not the problem.

It is justified when Islam seems to inspire it's believers for terrorism. But no one can say it is a right way to cope with these people because islamophobia can be the great terrorism against man. People become very suspicious and treat with prejudice islamist even when they are innocent.

If it is what it sounds like it is, then it is definitely a problem for Americans! I hate how people take the actions of an extremist group and apply it to all Muslims. So dumb. While we're at it why don't we hate on all Christians because they bomb abortion clinics??!!!
