    Simple question here: can Muslims condemn U.S. President Donald Trump as an Islamophobe?



    Thanks.

    Wait...

    Why only Muslims?
    Can others (not only Lefties) condemn Trump as an Islamophobe?

    Is he even bright enough to know what Islamophobia means as he practices it?

    Trump is not an Islamophobe.

    No. If anything, he's a fly-a-plane-into-a-building-aphobe, he's a place-a-bomb-in-a-crowded-venue-aphobe, he's a run-a-group-of-American-citizens-down-with-a-vehicle-aphobe. Oh, wait. These are things being done by extremist Muslim groups. Ok, let's just go with Islamophobe. See? So much easier...

    One possibility.

    Or he's misinformed.

    Or - most likely - he was saying what he believed would get him elected.

    Remember, he stood up to Netanyahu on the settlements.

    So then we can conclude that the murderous thugs speak for all of Islam? I find that hard to believe, but if President Erdogan says it's so, who am I to disagree?

    Islamaphobe means an irrational fear of Islam. Considering what Muslims have done over the last 50 years, there's nothing irrational about fearing them.

    They can. Every country and it's people earn a reputation. Muslims can also condemn me as being Islamophobic due to their reputation which is based on their actions.
