I don't understand what Yasir is trying to say.

What we're saying is that people who criticize Islam are being labeled bigots by use of the term "Islamophobia". There are people who hate Muslims due to ignorance and hating brown colored people. The point is, normal people who make valid criticisms against Islam are being thrown in with racist dumbasses. That's the problem, that the term is censoring valid criticism by labeling it as racist or as if there is such a thing as phobia of Islam.
Ok, now i get what you are saying, i was wondering whether you thought Islamophobia does not exist. And it is just a word to invented. Personally for me Islamophobia is for people who think all people with muslim heritage or are muslim are bad people, mainly bigots. Now if you want to challenge Islam and criticize it you can, but that is not Islamophobia, that is just a disagreement, which allows the other side to bring in their argument, and thus a debate begins.

The issue of Islamophobia you talk about how it is thrown willy nilly is quite noticeable in many other movements from certain feminist groups calling people misogynist, and sometimes racism is thrown around whenever someone does not like what they are getting.
