I love Muslims - which is why I hate mainstream Islam. History has categorically shown us that people are better off when there's separation of Church and State, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and women's equality - all of which mainstream Islam is diametrically opposed to. And criticizing Islam doesn't make me an "islamophobe". It makes me an Infidel. There's a difference. One is a vacuous term used to shut down argument. The other is a badge I wear proudly. Thank you.
That's what's known as a "Hitch Slap!"
The religion of Islam disgusts me and I find it a repulsive, parasitic presence on this planet. Its holy book is filled with hatred and intolerance. The religion degrades women and forces them to hide themselves in public. It's a religion that provides the necessary ingredients for radicalism/terrorism. Does that sentiment make me Islamophobic? Too effing bad. I will wear the title with pride.
As you said in the OP, labels are used mainly to shut down argument.
Bonsai - "Its holy book is filled with hatred and intolerance."
A number of individuals would say that about the Bible, too.
Coded Logic,
Thanks for this thread. So tell me why do you love Muslims?

So tell me why do you love Muslims? - good question. I can tell you why I like Muslims, based on observations where I live.
The Muslims that share the same northern town with me are generally polite, hold down jobs and contribute to society, and are respectful of women. Although a big section are no doubt conservative (if I dug deeper, I wonder what attitudes I'd find re homosexuality or Jew-hatred), they are well-integrated here.
The only surface issue I would have with them is the ubiquity of the niqab (full face veil).

Interesting why you're answer a question addressed to someone else. But thanks. Love and like are two different things.
Also when you draw an opinion about a protected class and generalise it's prejudicial. You can't like or especially love a class of people. You can only like and love individuals.
Do you dislike people who don't have jobs?
